The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Agar culture media manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.: 1.0 TCR = 29% of Agar culture media manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. safety composite

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
