The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 0.4, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 10.7, a spread of 10.2 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.

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.

8 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 3,829,482 hours worked = 0.42 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
