Trend analysis for State of Vermont
Between 2018 and 2022, State of Vermont's Total Case Rate improved from 4.0 to 2.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 38% decrease across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 2.2, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 4.0, a spread of 1.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, State of Vermont recorded 1,174 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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 (2022)
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.
140 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 16,302,027 hours worked = 1.72 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
