Trend analysis for Smith Valley Dairy Corp.

Between 2017 and 2019, Smith Valley Dairy Corp.'s Total Case Rate improved from 24.5 to 6.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 73% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2018, at a TCR of 3.7, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 24.5, a spread of 20.8 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 3 reporting years, Smith Valley Dairy Corp. recorded 14 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. 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 (2019)

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.

3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 92,160 hours worked = 6.51 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
