The Meritorious Achievement in Occupational Safety is awarded to organizations that receive a score of 50-74 on the Safety Program Evaluation Scorecard, and have a better than average Days Away Restricted Transferred (DART) rate for at least the past three years based on industry averages. The Safety Program Evaluation Scorecard rates the organization in 20 health and safety measures, which can be placed into four broad categories: Responsibilities and Accountabilities; Identifying, Controlling and Analyzing Hazards; Incident Investigation; and Communication and Training. DART rates come from the number of cases with days away from work, job transfer or restrictions due to injury or illness.
