Trend analysis for Columbia Fruit LLC
Between 2021 and 2023, Columbia Fruit LLC's Total Case Rate improved from 7.0 to 0.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 94% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 0.4, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 7.0, a spread of 6.5 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 3 reporting years, Columbia Fruit LLC recorded 24 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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 (2023)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 461,433 hours worked = 0.43 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
