The verdict

U.S. Pipe runs at 126% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Ductile iron foundries workplace, earning a grade D.

U.S. Pipe: 4.2 TCR = 126% of Ductile iron foundries BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

U.S. Pipe safety composite

U.S. Pipe scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), 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).
