Trend analysis for Pickles Manufacturing LLC
Between 2022 and 2024, Pickles Manufacturing LLC's Total Case Rate improved from 3.0 to 2.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 27% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 1.6, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 3.0, a spread of 1.4 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 3 reporting years, Pickles Manufacturing LLC recorded 17 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)
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.
7 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 642,539 hours worked = 2.18 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
