Trend analysis for Ontario Facility

Between 2018 and 2020, Ontario Facility's Total Case Rate improved from 11.6 to 8.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 24% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 8.8, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 13.0, a spread of 4.2 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 3 reporting years, Ontario Facility recorded 90 total injuries and illnesses and 3 fatalities. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-year trend above alongside establishment size, since a larger workforce naturally accumulates more raw incidents even at a lower per-100-worker rate.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2020)

What is the DART rate formula?

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.

17 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 520,315 hours worked = 6.53 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
