Trend analysis for Dept. of Natural Resources (27)
Between 2017 and 2019, Dept. of Natural Resources (27)'s Total Case Rate worsened from 5.9 to 43.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 626% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 5.9, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 43.0, a spread of 37.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, Dept. of Natural Resources (27) recorded 8 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2019)
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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 46,524 hours worked = 17.20 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
