Amazon's warehouses become particularly hazardous for workers during its Prime Day and holiday seasons due to intense workloads and pressure to disregard safety guidelines. The report reveals that injury rates during Prime Day 2019 were over double the industry average, with a total injury rate of nearly 45 per 100 workers, significantly higher than typical standards. Despite Amazon's substantial profits and claims of prioritizing worker safety, the report criticizes the company's safety measures and highlights the discrepancy between reported and actual injury rates. Amazon, however, disputes the report’s data, citing outdated and flawed internal documents.
