Amazon ignored internal studies on injuries, Senate investigation claims
Briefly

The Senate Committee's 160-page report reveals that Amazon's internal studies linked high work speed to increased injury rates and recommended slowing down, but these suggestions were ignored.
Amazon's internal initiatives, Project Elderwand and Project Soteria, identified dangers related to repetitive motions and work speed, yet executives opted against implementing necessary changes.
Despite Amazon's claims of improving work conditions, the Senate investigation highlighted an alarming disregard for employee safety, highlighting a pattern of injury reports neglected by the company.
Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Nantel criticized the report for using outdated research, asserting workplace improvements and contesting the notion that employees are in unsafe environments.
