OSHA fines Amazon again for exposing workers to hazardous conditions

Feb. 27, 2023
The facility, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is the seventh Amazon center to be cited since the start of the year.

OSHA has fined another Amazon distribution center for exposing workers to ergonomic hazards. The facility, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is the seventh Amazon center to be cited since the start of the year. The initial inspection was conducted in August of last year, and Amazon faces penalties of $15,625.
In a recent quote, Doug Parker, Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health, said, "We continue to find that Amazon's work processes are designed for speed, not safety, and that these processes cause serious injuries to workers. Amazon needs to focus more of its passion for innovation and performance on eliminating the hazards that injure workers."
