Trend analysis for Ragsdale Heating and Air, LLC
Between 2020 and 2022, Ragsdale Heating and Air, LLC's Total Case Rate improved from 8.2 to 6.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 16% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 5.6, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 8.2, a spread of 2.5 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.

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 (2022)
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.
6 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 293,146 hours worked = 4.09 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
