Formula Reference

DART Rate = (Number of DART Cases × Base Hours) ÷ Total Hours Worked

What Counts as a DART Case?

DART = Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred. A DART case is any OSHA-recordable injury or illness that results in one or more of: (1) days away from work, (2) restricted work activity (light duty), or (3) job transfer to a different position. It is a subset of your Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) cases — a case that only requires medical treatment beyond first aid, with no days away, restriction, or transfer, is recordable (counts in TRIR) but is not a DART case.
Calculations follow standard OSHA DART rate methodology (cases × 200,000 ÷ total hours worked), as used in OSHA Form 300A annual summaries and reported to BLS. Results are for guidance only — always verify against your official OSHA 300/300A recordkeeping, and compare against your specific NAICS industry code's published BLS average rather than a generic benchmark, since acceptable DART rates vary significantly by industry.
