The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 3.5, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 9.9, a spread of 6.4 points between the best and worst reporting years.

Summed across those 7 reporting years, County of Fresno recorded 1,529 total injuries and illnesses and 5 fatalities.

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.
226 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 15,148,104 hours worked = 2.98 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
