Trend analysis for Casella Construction Inc.
Between 2017 and 2021, Casella Construction Inc.'s Total Case Rate improved from 10.3 to 6.9 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 33% decrease across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 6.7, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 10.3, a spread of 3.6 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 4 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 4 reporting years, Casella Construction Inc. recorded 51 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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)
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.
5 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 377,591 hours worked = 2.65 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
