Federal safety regulators have dropped nine of 10 citations accusing Amazon of putting warehouse workers at a high risk of injury, part of a settlement agreement that requires the company to continue finding ways to reduce injuries.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration began a series of investigations at 10 Amazon facilities around the country in 2022, resulting in allegations that the company had created an unsafe working environment and exposed workers to a high risk of injury.
In one New York facility, OSHA also accused Amazon's in-house medical team of failing to properly refer injured workers to outside medical care.
In a settlement reached Wednesday, OSHA dismissed nine of the 10 citations related to ergonomics -- accusations related to workplace injuries from things like repetitive motions.
