The verdict

Boston Scientific runs at 14% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Surgical implants manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Boston Scientific: 0.5 TCR = 14% of Surgical implants manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Boston Scientific safety composite

Boston Scientific scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 65 Surgical implants manufacturin employers in California.

Boston Scientific (340 employees, TCR 0.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 123 employees and a TCR of 2.1

Boston Scientific has more employees than the Surgical implants manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.1. 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.
