Amazon cited for second time for alleged workplace violations in Waukegan
The agency alleged Amazon missclassified certain injuries as not requiring time off work or a job transfer or restriction in cases in which they did so. In one case, the companyAmazon has appealed the record keeping citations and said it has never intentionally misrepresented its safety record.
Parker said Wednesday the record keeping investigation was ongoing. “I can’t say a lot about the record keeping violations except to say that we’re always very concerned when we find that record keeping is incomplete,” he said. OSHA first opened the inspections into Amazon warehouses last summer after referrals from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York.
In a statement Wednesday, the SDNY said its civil division was investigating whether Amazon had “engaged in a fraudulent scheme designed to hide the true number of injuries” at Amazon and whether the company had “made false representations to lenders about those injuries and its safety record to obtain credit.”
