The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific runs at 85% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: 2.8 TCR = 85% of Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) 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 dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Rising injury rate

Thermo Fisher Scientific: 1.7 → 3.9 TCR

Peak year 2023 @ 3.9 TCR · DART/TCR 1.05× in 2023

Thermo Fisher Scientific's TCR rose 2.3 from 1.7 in 2022 to 3.9 in 2023. In 2023, DART was 1.05× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Where Thermo Fisher Scientific falls in its industry

855 Pharmaceutical preparations (e establishments

Safer than 29% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.6.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to South Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #16 safest of 17 Pharmaceutical preparations (e employers in South Carolina.

Thermo Fisher Scientific (115 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 171 employees and a TCR of 1.6

Thermo Fisher Scientific has fewer employees than the Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsu median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.6. 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.
