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).

Thermo Fisher Scientific (125 employees, TCR 3.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

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.
