Safety Insights for MALAGA CUT/SNACK
MALAGA CUT/SNACK operates an establishment with approximately 570 full-time equivalent workers in ARVIN, CA, classified under the Vegetable sorting, grading, and packing industry (NAICS 115114). Across 4 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 176 recordable injuries, 8 occupational illnesses, and 2 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 8.5 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the D letter grade (Poor Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 4.5 for Vegetable sorting, grading, and packing, MALAGA CUT/SNACK's workforce experiences 190% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 4 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating MALAGA CUT/SNACK as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 2, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

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.
36 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 960,648 hours worked = 7.49 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
