Shriners Hospitals for Children - Portland operates an establishment with approximately 331 full-time equivalent workers in PORTLAND, OR, classified under the Children's hospitals, specialty (except psychiatric, substance abuse) industry (NAICS 622310). Across 6 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 63 recordable injuries, 10 occupational illnesses, and 1 workplace fatality.

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.8 for Children's hospitals, specialty (except psychiatric, substance abuse), Shriners Hospitals for Children - Portland's workforce experiences 118% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 6 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating Shriners Hospitals for Children - Portland as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 1, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2023)
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 ÷ 782,992 hours worked = 0.77 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
