Amazon, one of the largest employers globally, is under fresh scrutiny regarding its workplace safety record following the deaths of two employees, including a recent incident at a distribution center in Troutdale, Oregon. Critics allege that the company pressures injured workers to return to work prematurely, with reports of managers telling employees to 'get back to work' after injuries. A training document revealed by the Guardian suggests that Amazon's in-house medical unit, AmCare, encourages employees to minimize time off, raising concerns about the adequacy of care provided. Despite Amazon's claims of prioritizing employee safety and investing over $2.5 billion in safety programs, its injury rates remain problematic, with 56% of serious injuries in the warehouse industry attributed to the company, which employs 39% of U.S. warehouse workers. Ongoing federal investigations and lawsuits highlight a pattern of alleged negligence regarding employee safety and treatment. As Amazon continues to face criticism, it asserts that it is committed to improving safety and reducing injury rates, aiming to cut them in half by 2025.
