Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 2.8 for Air system balancing and testing, W. W. Gay Mechanical Contractor, Inc.'s workforce experiences 23% 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 W. W. Gay Mechanical Contractor, Inc. 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.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2023)
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.
3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 2,138,096 hours worked = 0.28 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
