Calculate your DART workplace injury rate for better safety compliance.
What is the DART Rate Calculator & How does it work?
The Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate is a crucial metric used to measure the frequency of workplace injuries that result in employees being away from work, restricted in their duties, or transferred to another job. This rate helps employers identify areas where safety improvements are needed.
The DART rate is calculated by dividing the total number of DART cases by the total number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, then multiplying by 200,000. This standardization allows for easy comparison across different companies and industries.
