DART rate calculator
The DART rate counts only the more serious cases: those with days away from work, restricted duty or job transfer, per 100 full-time workers.
Enter hours worked or the number of employees.
DART = (days-away + restricted/transfer cases) × 200,000 ÷ hours worked
How the DART rate is calculated
Add the cases with days away (column H of the 300A) and the cases with job transfer or restriction (column I), multiply by 200,000, and divide by the total hours worked by all employees in the year.
Questions
- How is DART different from TRIR?
- TRIR counts every recordable case. DART leaves out cases that only needed medical treatment, so it reflects injuries that kept people from doing their normal job.
- Do I count the days or the cases?
- The cases. A case with 30 days away counts once, the same as a case with one day away.
- Where do I find the numbers?
- On your OSHA 300A summary: column H plus column I, and the total hours worked in the employment section.
Definitions from OSHA's recordkeeping rule, 29 CFR Part 1904. Results are for information; check them against your own 300 Log.
