The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific MBD-US runs at 55% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Thermo Fisher Scientific MBD-US: 1.8 TCR = 55% of In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermo Fisher Scientific MBD-US safety composite

Thermo Fisher Scientific MBD-US scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
