Trend analysis for SP Richards Co Phoenix
Between 2020 and 2023, SP Richards Co Phoenix's Total Case Rate improved from 10.2 to 6.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 37% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 6.4, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 10.2, a spread of 3.7 points between the best and worst reporting years.

Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2023)
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.
2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 62,400 hours worked = 6.41 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
