Trend analysis for Rhode Island Hospital
Between 2016 and 2024, Rhode Island Hospital's Total Case Rate improved from 8.2 to 7.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 12% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 7.2, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 9.1, a spread of 1.9 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 8 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 8 reporting years, Rhode Island Hospital recorded 3,815 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 8-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.
270 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 12,121,625 hours worked = 4.45 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
