The verdict

Thermo Fisher Scientific runs at 22% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Blood derivative in-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: 0.7 TCR = 22% of Blood derivative in-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermo Fisher Scientific safety composite

Thermo Fisher Scientific scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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: 0.7 → 1.4 TCR

Peak year 2021 @ 1.4 TCR · DART/TCR 1.38× in 2021

Thermo Fisher Scientific's TCR rose 0.7 from 0.7 in 2018 to 1.4 in 2021. In 2021, DART was 1.38× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Thermo Fisher Scientific has more employees than the Blood derivative in-vitro diagnostic sub median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.4. 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.
