23. Incident Rate (IR)
Incidence rates are a metric used to compare your company's safety performance against a national or state average
# of Injures x 200,000 / Number of hrs. = IR
(The 200,000 hours in the formula represents the equivalent of 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for the incidence rates.)

24. Days Away, Restricted or Transfer
DART Rate
Days away + Job Restrict x 200,000
= DART
Number of Hours worked by all
Days Away, Restricted or Transfer

25. POSSIBLE STATISTICAL MEASURES
