Safety Insights for Sutton Trucking Inc

Sutton Trucking Inc operates an establishment with approximately 52 full-time equivalent workers in LEES SUMMIT, MO, classified under the Trucking, general freight, local industry (NAICS 484110). Across 5 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 13 recordable injuries, 1 occupational illnesses, and 1 workplace fatality. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 4.1 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the C letter grade (Average Safety Record).

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 4.5 for Trucking, general freight, local, Sutton Trucking Inc's workforce experiences 91% 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 5 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating Sutton Trucking Inc 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.
