The verdict

Merit Medical Systems runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Catheters manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Merit Medical Systems: 0.7 TCR = 21% of Catheters manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merit Medical Systems safety composite

Merit Medical Systems scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 76% 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).

Merit Medical Systems has fewer employees than the Catheters manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5.
