Trend analysis for West Campus OHSU

Between 2016 and 2024, West Campus OHSU's Total Case Rate improved from 18.5 to 12.4 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 33% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 10.7, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 18.5, a spread of 7.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 9 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 9 reporting years, West Campus OHSU recorded 595 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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.

16 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 985,776 hours worked = 3.25 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you

Use this grade as a relative read on West Campus OHSU's reported OSHA injury record versus its Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in health sciences peers, not a verdict on whether any single site is safe today.

  • At 2976% of the Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in health sciences benchmark, West Campus OHSU reports more injuries than typical peers, ask specifically how the employer is reducing them. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in health sciences sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
  • Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another

Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
