The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 3.7, a spread of 3.7 points between the best and worst reporting years.

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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 53,650 hours worked = 3.73 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
