Join a caring team
At IP, safety is core to who we are and how we operate. Nothing is more important than the safety of our employees, contractors and visitors. The moment you step into an IP workplace you will understand how serious we are about your safety.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and anyone who enters an IP facility is encouraged to speak up if they see something unsafe.
In our culture of caring, everyone has the right to stop an unsafe job. We call this courage to care because it takes courage to speak up, and that courage could save a life.
