Trend analysis for Hospice by the Sea- Area 2
Between 2017 and 2021, Hospice by the Sea- Area 2's Total Case Rate worsened from 8.0 to 10.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 36% increase across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 8.0, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 10.8, a spread of 2.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, Hospice by the Sea- Area 2 recorded 66 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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 (2021)
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.
15 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 424,554 hours worked = 7.07 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
