Trend analysis for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc.

Between 2016 and 2023, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc.'s Total Case Rate improved from 7.2 to 6.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 6% decrease across 7 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 3.9, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 8.0, a spread of 4.0 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.

Summed across those 7 reporting years, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. recorded 18,137 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-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 (2023)

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.

3,115 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 104,519,563 hours worked = 5.96 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
