Trend analysis for Public Utilities/Electric
Between 2020 and 2023, Public Utilities/Electric's Total Case Rate improved from 30.4 to 4.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 86% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 4.4, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 30.4, a spread of 26.0 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, Public Utilities/Electric recorded 5 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2023)
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.
0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 45,644 hours worked = 0.00 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
