The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific runs at 53% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Culture media manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: 1.8 TCR = 53% of Culture media manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermo Fisher Scientific safety composite

Thermo Fisher Scientific scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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 Culture media manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
