Trend analysis for Bookstore Movers LLC

Between 2016 and 2024, Bookstore Movers LLC's Total Case Rate improved from 17.4 to 13.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 23% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 11.5, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 29.3, a spread of 17.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.

Summed across those 8 reporting years, Bookstore Movers LLC recorded 97 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 8-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)

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.

6 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 133,882 hours worked = 8.96 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
