Coal mining (NAICS 2121): average TRIR and DART

These are the 2024 private-industry incidence rates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, per 100 full-time-equivalent workers. Prequalification forms often ask whether your TRIR and DART are at or below these numbers.

Total recordable case rate (TRIR benchmark)
3.1
DART rate
2.2
Days-away-from-work rate
2.1
Job transfer / restriction rate
0.1

Other recordable cases: 0.9. "Not published" means the data does not meet BLS publication guidelines.

Compare my 3-year TRIR, DART and EMR with NAICS 2121

What this means for your prequal form

Worked example: a company in this industry with 100,000 hours worked in a year (about 50 full-time employees) would match the industry average at 1.6 recordable cases. With 400,000 hours (about 200 employees) the figure is 6.2.

TRIR = recordable cases × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. DART = (days-away cases + restricted/transfer cases) × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. Use your OSHA 300A totals for each calendar year.

Parent industry: Mining (except oil and gas) (NAICS 212), TRC 2.0, DART 1.4.
