Trend analysis for 50 Christiana
Between 2017 and 2024, 50 Christiana's Total Case Rate worsened from 3.0 to 3.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 23% increase across 7 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 0.7, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 4.3, a spread of 3.6 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 8 reporting years, 50 Christiana recorded 2,267 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 8-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.
188 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 20,139,252 hours worked = 1.87 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
