The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 4.0, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 21.4, a spread of 17.5 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.
