Trend analysis for Taconic Biosciences, Inc. Germantown Campus
Between 2021 and 2024, Taconic Biosciences, Inc. Germantown Campus's Total Case Rate improved from 12.1 to 9.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 23% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 8.3, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 12.1, a spread of 3.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 4 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 4 reporting years, Taconic Biosciences, Inc. Germantown Campus recorded 72 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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 (2024)
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.
11 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 404,873 hours worked = 5.43 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
