Trend analysis for Intimidator Group
Between 2016 and 2024, Intimidator Group's Total Case Rate improved from 6.1 to 1.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 70% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 1.1, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 22.5, a spread of 21.4 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, Intimidator Group recorded 109 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. 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)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 219,108 hours worked = 0.91 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
