In 2022, Amazon warehouse workers suffered serious injuries at more than twice the rate of all comparable facilities, according to the Strategic Organizing Center.
warehouses are a more dangerous place to work than comparable facilities, new federal injury data shows.released Wednesday from the union coalition Strategic Organizing Center, which relies on data submitted by Amazon to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. That's more than double the rate of all non-Amazon warehouses, which had 3.2 serious injuries for every 100 workers.
The SOC report argues that Amazon has "not made meaningful progress" on its total rate of injuries or serious injuries between 2017 and 2022, the six-year period in which it has data. Until 2020, OSHA did not release full injury and illness records submitted by employers, claiming that more detailed logs contained confidential commercial information.
The data suggests that injuries experienced by workers at the company are more frequent and severe than other warehouse workers, SOC said. In 2022, Amazon was responsible for more than half of all serious injuries in the warehousing industry, while making up 36% of its workers, according to the report.
