Days away, restrictions and transfers, or DART, are used to calculate the number of days away from work, work activities that are restricted by an injury or where a worker is transferred to another type of work due to an injury.

The new hospital project took first place in the California Team Excellence Award competition last year and won the Complex Project award at the 2011-12 ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement in May, officials said.

"If there was ever a single theme that contributed to our success, it has been the clear sense of purpose and the incredibly strong desire by all team members to truly work together in order to achieve what many though was impossible,"  said Cmdr. Whit H. Robinson, Naval Facilities Southwest officer in charge of the construction.
