Trend analysis for International Foodsource
Between 2016 and 2019, International Foodsource's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 8.8 to 8.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 0% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 8.8, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 8.8, a spread of 0.0 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, International Foodsource recorded 20 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 (2019)
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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 158,439 hours worked = 5.05 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
