The verdict
Thermo Fisher Scientific runs at 97% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.
Thermo Fisher Scientific: 3.2 TCR = 97% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y 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 14%), 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).

Where Thermo Fisher Scientific falls in its industry
213 Laboratory analytical instrume establishmentsSafer than 14% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.
Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #43 safest of 51 Laboratory analytical instrume employers in California.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has fewer employees than the Laboratory analytical instruments (excep 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.
