Avoiding accidents is not an accident. AISC is proud of those companies whose employees worked through 2024 with few or no Days Away, Restricted or Transfer (DART) injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The safety awards program is open to all AISC member fabricators and erectors, and applications for the program are solicited annually. Safety award recipients are scored and selected based on DART rates that companies report to OSHA. The DART rate measures the number of recordable lost work cases per 200,000 hours worked. AISC bases the awards on cases, not days, as reported to OSHA on the 300A form, along with hours worked in the year.
