Safety Insights for NGAS-A502
NGAS-A502 operates an establishment with approximately 5,323 full-time equivalent workers in PALMDALE, CA, classified under the Aircraft Manufacturing industry (NAICS 336411). Across 8 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 1,428 recordable injuries, 300 occupational illnesses, and 1 workplace fatality. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 3.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the C letter grade (Average Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.3 for Aircraft Manufacturing, NGAS-A502's workforce experiences 118% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 8 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating NGAS-A502 as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 1, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2024)
DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is computed by OSHA as incidents × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. The 200,000-hour denominator equals roughly 100 full-time workers, which lets establishments of very different sizes be compared directly.
240 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 13,316,096 hours worked = 3.60 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
