Safety Insights for Community & Economic Development Department
Community & Economic Development Department operates an establishment with approximately 156 full-time equivalent workers in ASHEVILLE, NC, classified under the Housing programs, planning and development, government industry (NAICS 925110). Across 3 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 8 recordable injuries, 0 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities.

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.2 for Housing programs, planning and development, government, Community & Economic Development Department's workforce experiences 176% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked, a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers, so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 3 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating Community & Economic Development Department as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries, there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

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.
2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 108,380 hours worked = 3.69 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
