The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 3.3, a spread of 3.3 points between the best and worst reporting years.

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.

1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 137,845 hours worked = 1.45 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
