Trend analysis for PlayCore Wisconsin, Inc., dba GameTime
Between 2022 and 2024, PlayCore Wisconsin, Inc., dba GameTime's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 1.4 to 1.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 5% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 1.4, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 1.6, a spread of 0.2 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 3 reporting years, PlayCore Wisconsin, Inc., dba GameTime recorded 29 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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.
3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,339,893 hours worked = 0.45 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
