Which metric gauges recordable injuries that require reporting to safety authorities?

• A. TRIR
• B. DART
• C. TCOR
• D. COPE

Answer: (A)

Total Recordable Incident Rate measures every work-related injury or illness that must be reported to safety authorities. It includes incidents requiring more than first aid and those leading to lost work time, restricted work, or job transfer, providing a comprehensive view of safety performance and standardizing the rate per hours worked. The other metrics cover narrower scopes—for example, Days Away, Restricted or Transferred records only the subset that results in time away, restricted duties, or job transfer, so it doesn’t capture all reportable incidents. TCOR and COPE aren’t standard measures used for tracking reportable injuries in the same way, so they don’t fit as the best gauge here.
