Trend analysis for BWI - Ground Ops

Between 2016 and 2020, BWI - Ground Ops's Total Case Rate improved from 31.7 to 19.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 39% decrease across 4 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 19.4, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 32.3, a spread of 12.9 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, BWI - Ground Ops recorded 1,390 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.

147 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,752,914 hours worked = 16.77 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
