Trend analysis for REC Silicon
Between 2016 and 2018, REC Silicon's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 1.6 to 1.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 4% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2016, at a TCR of 1.6, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 1.7, a spread of 0.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, REC Silicon recorded 10 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 (2018)
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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 479,982 hours worked = 1.67 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you
Use this grade as a relative read on REC Silicon's reported OSHA injury record, strong versus its Silicon, ultra high purity, manufacturing peers, but not a guarantee about any single site today.
- At 50% of the Silicon, ultra high purity, manufacturing benchmark, REC Silicon reports fewer injuries than typical peers, still worth asking how safety is managed day to day. Know your rights
- Judge this record against the wider Silicon, ultra high purity, manufacturing sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
- Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another
Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
