Trend analysis for Ross store 1319

Between 2017 and 2020, Ross store 1319's Total Case Rate worsened from 8.6 to 32.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 281% increase across 3 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 3.7, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 32.6, a spread of 28.9 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 4 reporting years, Ross store 1319 recorded 10 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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 (2020)

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.

4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 42,955 hours worked = 18.62 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
