> The data is from government stats, and the reporting threshold is the same as it ever was (basically, if an employee is admitted to the hospital) This is wrong. It's from an analysis of Amazon's own incident logs that OSHA requires companies to keep (OSHA form 300A[1].) The government doesn't "reject" incidents from these logs. Additionally, a recordable injury is any of the following[2] - Any work-related fatality. - Any work-related injury or illness that results in loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted work, or transfer to another job. - Any work-related injury or illness requiring medical treatment beyond first aid. - Any work-related diagnosed case of cancer, chronic irreversible diseases, fractured or cracked bones or teeth, and punctured eardrums. - There are also special recording criteria for work-related cases involving: needlesticks and sharps injuries; medical removal; hearing loss; and tuberculosis. That's very different than "severe injury or death" only. [1] https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/new-osha300form1-1-04-FormsOnly.pdf https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/new-osha300form1-1-04-For...
