Trend analysis for Hackensack University Medical Center
Between 2016 and 2022, Hackensack University Medical Center's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 7.2 to 7.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 4% increase across 6 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 5.0, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 7.9, a spread of 2.9 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 6 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 6 reporting years, Hackensack University Medical Center recorded 2,182 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 6-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 (2022)
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.
255 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 10,297,342 hours worked = 4.95 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
