The verdict

IPC runs at 137% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cold storage plant construction workplace, earning a grade D.

IPC: 4.0 TCR = 137% of Cold storage plant construction BLS 2.9 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IPC safety composite

IPC scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).

IPC has fewer employees than the Cold storage plant construction median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3. 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.
