Between 2017 and 2024, Ecumen North Branch's Total Case Rate improved from 12.7 to 8.1 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 36% decrease across 7 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 5.7, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 20.9, a spread of 15.3 points between the best and worst reporting years.

Summed across those 7 reporting years, Ecumen North Branch recorded 55 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-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 (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.

7 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 173,185 hours worked = 8.08 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
