Between 2022 and 2024, Trystar Faribault's Total Case Rate improved from 3.9 to 2.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 29% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 2.8, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 6.8, a spread of 4.1 points between the best and worst reporting years.

Summed across those 3 reporting years, Trystar Faribault recorded 30 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. 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 (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.
5 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 508,879 hours worked = 1.97 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
