Trend analysis for Dickinson Frozen Foods Fruitland
Between 2016 and 2021, Dickinson Frozen Foods Fruitland's Total Case Rate improved from 9.3 to 7.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 21% decrease across 5 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2018, at a TCR of 6.8, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 9.3, a spread of 2.5 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, Dickinson Frozen Foods Fruitland recorded 114 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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.
12 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 493,064 hours worked = 4.87 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
