The verdict

Olympus Waltham-Newton runs at 12% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Olympus Waltham-Newton: 0.4 TCR = 12% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Olympus Waltham-Newton safety composite

Olympus Waltham-Newton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Where Olympus Waltham-Newton falls in its industry

213 Laboratory analytical instrume establishments

Safer than 90% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #5 safest of 33 Laboratory analytical instrume employers in Massachusetts.

Olympus Waltham-Newton (335 employees, TCR 0.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Olympus Waltham-Newton has more employees than the Laboratory analytical instruments (excep median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
