Summed across those 9 reporting years, Lake Region Medical, Inc. recorded 42 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years.

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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,031,775 hours worked = 0.78 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
