What DART Rate Calculator does

The DART Rate Calculator determines the Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred rate for a company's employees based on injury records. Users input the total number of workdays missed due to injuries, restricted duties, or transferred duties, along with the total hours worked during the period, and the tool outputs the DART rate as a percentage. This standardized metric quantifies labor unavailability caused by specific status changes, serving as a crucial measure for resource planning and operational budgeting. The calculator helps managers and HR professionals assess staffing levels and adjust payroll projections based on non-working days resulting from workplace incidents.
