Trend analysis for Flowers Bakery of Crossville, LLC.

Between 2016 and 2024, Flowers Bakery of Crossville, LLC.'s Total Case Rate worsened from 1.3 to 2.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 104% increase across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 1.1, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 4.7, a spread of 3.7 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 9 reporting years, Flowers Bakery of Crossville, LLC. recorded 102 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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 (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.

4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 744,484 hours worked = 1.07 DART
