The verdict

Imperial Aluminum runs at 396% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ferroalloys manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Imperial Aluminum: 13.1 TCR = 396% of Ferroalloys manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Imperial Aluminum safety composite

Imperial Aluminum scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Imperial Aluminum has fewer employees than the Ferroalloys manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
