Trend analysis for ESPN ABC Sports New York
Between 2019 and 2020, ESPN ABC Sports New York's Total Case Rate improved from 49.6 to 28.9 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 42% decrease across 1 year of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 28.9, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 49.6, a spread of 20.7 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, ESPN ABC Sports New York recorded 14 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 (2020)
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.
0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 34,615 hours worked = 0.00 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
