Trend analysis for Caldwell County BBQ

Between 2023 and 2024, Caldwell County BBQ's Total Case Rate worsened from 4.5 to 23.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 418% increase across 1 year of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 4.5, while 2024 saw the highest rate, at 23.3, a spread of 18.8 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 2 reporting years, Caldwell County BBQ recorded 16 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 (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.

7 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 120,063 hours worked = 11.66 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
