Trend analysis for Economic Security Corporation

Between 2016 and 2018, Economic Security Corporation's Total Case Rate worsened from 1.7 to 4.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 148% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2016, at a TCR of 1.7, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 4.3, a spread of 2.6 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 2 reporting years, Economic Security Corporation recorded 14 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2018)

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 ÷ 465,702 hours worked = 2.15 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you

Use this grade as a relative read on Economic Security Corporation's reported OSHA injury record, strong versus its Community action service agencies peers, but not a guarantee about any single site today.

  • At 79% of the Community action service agencies benchmark, Economic Security Corporation reports fewer injuries than typical peers, still worth asking how safety is managed day to day. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider Community action service agencies sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
  • Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another

Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
