Trend analysis for Barona Resort & Casino
Between 2016 and 2020, Barona Resort & Casino's Total Case Rate improved from 4.8 to 3.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 28% decrease across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 3.0, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 4.8, a spread of 1.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, Barona Resort & Casino recorded 469 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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 (2020)
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.
51 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 3,283,964 hours worked = 3.11 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
