Trend analysis for 017 Medford
Between 2020 and 2021, 017 Medford's Total Case Rate improved from 12.2 to 6.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 49% decrease across 1 year of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 6.2, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 12.2, a spread of 6.0 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, 017 Medford recorded 3 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2021)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 32,225 hours worked = 6.21 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
