Trend analysis for 4769-6001-Williams Sonoma
Between 2017 and 2019, 4769-6001-Williams Sonoma's Total Case Rate worsened from 16.0 to 17.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 8% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 16.0, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 17.3, a spread of 1.2 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, 4769-6001-Williams Sonoma recorded 2 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 (2019)
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.
0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 11,579 hours worked = 0.00 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
