Between 2016 and 2024, Lees Summit's Total Case Rate improved from 1.4 to 0.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 100% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 12.5, a spread of 12.5 points between the best and worst reporting 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.

0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 32,757 hours worked = 0.00 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
