Safety Insights for CARLE FOUNDATION HOSPITAL
CARLE FOUNDATION HOSPITAL operates an establishment with approximately 8,566 full-time equivalent workers in URBANA, IL, classified under the General medical and surgical hospitals industry (NAICS 622110). Across 5 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 806 recordable injuries, 988 occupational illnesses, and 1 workplace fatality. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 5.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the B letter grade (Good Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 7.5 for General medical and surgical hospitals, CARLE FOUNDATION HOSPITAL's workforce experiences 78% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR below the benchmark signals that controls, training, or automation may be outperforming peers.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 5 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating CARLE FOUNDATION HOSPITAL as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 1, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2022)
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.
131 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 27,955,507 hours worked = 0.94 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
