Between 2017 and 2021, HomeGoods Jefferson Distribution Center's Total Case Rate worsened from 3.9 to 6.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 61% increase across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 3.9, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 7.1, a spread of 3.2 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 5 reporting years, HomeGoods Jefferson Distribution Center recorded 282 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.
62 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 2,146,737 hours worked = 5.78 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
