Trend analysis for Innovative Resources for Independence
Between 2019 and 2021, Innovative Resources for Independence's Total Case Rate worsened from 6.5 to 11.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 71% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 6.5, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 11.2, a spread of 4.7 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 3 reporting years, Innovative Resources for Independence recorded 87 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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)
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.
25 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 855,000 hours worked = 5.85 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
