00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02A Senate report found that Amazon warehouse workers are more than twice as likely to get
00:06injured during Prime Day events compared to industry averages.
00:10Amazon warehouses are under more pressure and more dangerous for employees during Prime
00:14Day and the holiday season, as workers have to work faster for longer hours under pressure
00:18to meet quotas.
00:20One worker reported that their facility did not install a safety feature on a conveyor
00:23belt that automatically stops when jammed to save time, putting workers at risk of injuries
00:28from falling packages.
00:30Amazon disputes the report and says that it has improved its recordable incident rate
00:34and significant injury rate since 2019.
