Grade compares COTA Cadets's OSHA Total Case Rate to the BLS industry benchmark across 5 years of Form 300A filings (2016–2024). This reflects reported recordable injuries, not an independent safety inspection -- underreporting is a known limitation of employer self-recordkeeping.

Safety Insights for COTA Cadets

COTA Cadets operates an establishment with approximately 121 full-time equivalent workers in Tucson, AZ, classified under the Correctional boot camps industry (NAICS 922140). Across 5 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 243 recordable injuries, 11 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of N/A injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the NR letter grade (Not yet rated).

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.2 for Correctional boot camps, COTA Cadets's workforce experiences an uncalculated share 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 5 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating COTA Cadets 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 (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.

8 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 23,320 hours worked = 68.61 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you

Treat this page as COTA Cadets's raw reported OSHA record, not a validated grade, one or more filings report implausible hours.

  • COTA Cadets reports 243 recordable injuries across 5 years, read the year-by-year detail above before drawing a conclusion. How rates work
  • Judge this record against the wider Correctional boot camps sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
