Trend analysis for Lawrence + Memorial Hospital

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 6.1, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 9.5, a spread of 3.4 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 9 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 9 reporting years, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital recorded 915 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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 (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.
47 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 3,002,159 hours worked = 3.13 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
