The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific runs at 15% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: 0.5 TCR = 15% of In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermo Fisher Scientific safety composite

Thermo Fisher Scientific scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% 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).

Thermo Fisher Scientific has more employees than the In-vitro diagnostic substances manufactu median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.4. 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.
