Between 2023 and 2024, 1151 Kedzie Scheduled Transit Operations's Total Case Rate worsened from 10.0 to 10.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 7% increase across 1 year of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 10.0, while 2024 saw the highest rate, at 10.7, a spread of 0.7 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

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.

40 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 806,077 hours worked = 9.92 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
