It is based only on those injuries and illnesses severe <br /> enough to warrant"Days Away,Restrictions and Transfers". The DART incident rate is <br /> calculated using OSHA's Form 300 and the following formula: <br /> ((Number of entries in column H (days away from work)+ column I(job transfer or <br /> restriction)x 200,000)/(Number of hours worked by all employees)=DART Incident <br /> rate. <br /> `EMR"—Acronym for"Experience Modification Rate,"is an indicator of a contractor's <br /> past safety performance, widely used by the insurance industry as an equitable means of <br /> determining premiums for workers' compensation insurance. The rating system considers <br /> the average workers' compensation losses for a given firm's type of work and amount of <br /> payroll and predicts the dollar amount of expected losses to be paid by that employer in a <br /> designated rating period,usually three years. The rating is based on comparison of firms <br /> doing similar types of work, and the employer is rated against the average expected <br /> performance in each work classification. Losses incurred by the employer for the rating <br /> period are then compared to the expected losses to develop an experience rating. <br /> "OSHA"—Acronym for the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration. <br /> The term"OSHA" as used in this Policy also refers to any state or local agency having <br /> jurisdictional authorization to enforce worker safety requirements and assess fines or <br /> warnings for violation of worker safety standards. <br /> 1.
