Trend analysis for Barnes-Jewish Hospital

Between 2016 and 2024, Barnes-Jewish Hospital's Total Case Rate improved from 8.3 to 6.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 28% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 5.9, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 8.3, a spread of 2.3 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, Barnes-Jewish Hospital recorded 4,762 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.

168 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 17,018,936 hours worked = 1.97 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

  • At 91% of the General medical and surgical hospitals benchmark, Barnes-Jewish Hospital reports fewer injuries than typical peers, still worth asking how safety is managed day to day. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider General medical and surgical hospitals sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
  • Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another

Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
