Trend analysis for Garden City Hospital
Between 2017 and 2019, Garden City Hospital's Total Case Rate improved from 18.9 to 10.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 43% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2018, at a TCR of 0.4, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 18.9, a spread of 18.4 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 3 reporting years, Garden City Hospital recorded 356 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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.
12 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,730,564 hours worked = 1.39 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
