Trend analysis for Linde-Griffith Construction Co.
Between 2016 and 2024, Linde-Griffith Construction Co.'s Total Case Rate worsened from 2.3 to 3.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 49% increase across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2024 saw the highest rate, at 3.4, a spread of 3.4 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 3 reporting years, Linde-Griffith Construction Co. recorded 4 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 (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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 118,212 hours worked = 1.69 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
