The Occupational Safety and Health Administration made 14 citations against Amazon during inspections at warehouses in Illinois and other states.
Amazon failed to properly record work-related injuries at warehouses located in five states, a federal agency said Friday while announcing it issued more than a dozen citations during the course of its ongoing investigation of the company.
The citations were for failing to record, or misclassifying, injuries and illnesses, not recording them within the required time and not giving the agency "timely" records of such matters, OSHA said. The e-commerce giant, which earned over $33 billion last year, faces about $29,000 in penalties. "Accurate recordkeeping is a critical element of that program and while we acknowledge there might have been a small number of administrative errors over the years, we are confident in the numbers we've reported to the government," Nantel said, adding the company was pleased OSHA acknowledged "all of the alleged violations are 'other than serious' and involve minor infractions.
