Thermo Fisher Scientific: 1.0 TCR = 29% of Refrigeration equipment, industrial and commercial-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Thermo Fisher Scientific safety composite
Thermo Fisher Scientific scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 84% 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).
