Comment on Amazon medical staff in Thornton faced pressure to reduce care

Amazon medical staff in Thornton faced pressure to reduce care

Amazon’s safety team knew there was a problem at its fulfillment center in Thornton. Internal reports sent to Amazon safety managers across the country in early 2019 repeatedly flagged the warehouse for having especially high injury rates. One item in the FAQ section asked why that warehouse and six others had a rate of lost-time injuries “more than twice” the internal goal for January. The issues with the 2-year-old Amazon warehouse in Thornton and other facilities around the country are highlighted in a new report by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. A cache of company records obtained by Reveal — including internal safety reports and weekly injury numbers from its nationwide network of fulfillment centers — shows that company officials have misled the public and lawmakers about its record on worker safety.
