The verdict

ThermoFisher Scientific runs at 27% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Culture media manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

ThermoFisher Scientific: 0.9 TCR = 27% of Culture media manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ThermoFisher Scientific safety composite

ThermoFisher Scientific scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 50%), 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%).

ThermoFisher Scientific held a steady TCR band

ThermoFisher Scientific's TCR held near 0.2 from 1.0 in 2022 to 0.8 in 2023. Peak filing year was 2022 at 1.0 TCR. In 2023, DART was 0.53× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Where ThermoFisher Scientific falls in its industry

234 Culture media manufacturing establishments

Safer than 64% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to New York alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 7 Culture media manufacturing employers in New York.

ThermoFisher Scientific (1,357 employees, TCR 0.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 198 employees and a TCR of 1.2

ThermoFisher Scientific has more employees than the Culture media manufacturing median and a lower 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.
