Trend analysis for W. G. Yates & Sons Construction Company

Between 2016 and 2024, W. G. Yates & Sons Construction Company's Total Case Rate worsened from 0.4 to 0.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 42% increase across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 0.2, while 2024 saw the highest rate, at 0.5, a spread of 0.3 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 9 reporting years, W. G. Yates & Sons Construction Company recorded 74 total injuries and illnesses and 3 fatalities. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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)

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.

10 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 4,344,585 hours worked = 0.46 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
