Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. SOE: 3.6 TCR = 108% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. SOE safety composite

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. SOE scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), 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).
