Safety Insights for TES - Berlin
TES - Berlin operates an establishment with approximately 50 full-time equivalent workers in BERLIN, CT, classified under the Hazardous waste treatment facilities combined with collection and/or local hauling of hazardous waste industry (NAICS 562211). Across 3 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 5 recordable injuries, 0 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 2.6 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 2.6 for Hazardous waste treatment facilities combined with collection and/or local hauling of hazardous waste, TES - Berlin's workforce experiences 99% 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 3 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating TES - Berlin as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, 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 (2020)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 122,742 hours worked = 1.63 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
