The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 21.1, a spread of 21.1 points between the best and worst reporting years.

Summed across those 6 reporting years, Jfk Medical Center recorded 866 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2023)
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 ÷ 40,371 hours worked = 0.00 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
