Safety Insights for Lipan Distribution Center-040
Lipan Distribution Center-040 operates an establishment with approximately 690 full-time equivalent workers in DENVER, CO, classified under the Electric Power Distribution industry (NAICS 221122). Across 3 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 30 recordable injuries, 32 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 2.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the F letter grade (Failing Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 1.2 for Electric Power Distribution, Lipan Distribution Center-040's workforce experiences 240% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 3 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating Lipan Distribution Center-040 as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2023)
DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is computed by OSHA as incidents × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. The 200,000-hour denominator equals roughly 100 full-time workers, which lets establishments of very different sizes be compared directly.
18 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,477,743 hours worked = 2.44 DART
