Trend analysis for Altru Health System Med Park

Between 2016 and 2024, Altru Health System Med Park's Total Case Rate improved from 7.2 to 5.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 27% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 5.1, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 8.1, a spread of 3.0 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 9 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 9 reporting years, Altru Health System Med Park recorded 813 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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.

26 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 3,231,496 hours worked = 1.61 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
