Safety Insights for Richmond MC - PMUSA
Richmond MC - PMUSA operates an establishment with approximately 1,514 full-time equivalent workers in RICHMOND, VA, classified under the Cigarettes manufacturing industry (NAICS 312230). Across 8 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 213 recordable injuries, 103 occupational illnesses, and 1 workplace fatality. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 2.6 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the B letter grade (Good Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.3 for Cigarettes manufacturing, Richmond MC - PMUSA's workforce experiences 78% 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 below the benchmark signals that controls, training, or automation may be outperforming peers.
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 Richmond MC - PMUSA 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.
22 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 2,681,784 hours worked = 1.64 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
