Amazon often points to the tens of millions of dollars it has
invested to enhance safety practices. Yet Amazon’s injury rates
have gone up each of the past four years, the internal data shows.
In 2019, Amazon fulfillment centers recorded 14,000 serious
injuries — those requiring days off or job restrictions. The overall
rate of 7.7 serious injuries per 100 employees was 33% higher than
in 2016 and nearly double the most recent industry standard.
