Trend analysis for Yarde Metals Southington CT
Between 2020 and 2024, Yarde Metals Southington CT's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 1.2 to 1.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 4% increase across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 1.2, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 1.7, a spread of 0.5 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, Yarde Metals Southington CT recorded 21 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 636,677 hours worked = 1.26 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
