Amazon received citations for failing to properly record work-related injuries and illnesses in six warehouse facilities in five states, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced Friday. The findings are part of an ongoing investigation, and Amazon faces $29,008 in proposed penalties.

OSHA on July 18 opened inspections at Amazon locations in Deltona, Florida; Waukegan, Illinois; and New Windsor, New York. On Aug., it opened inspections at locations in Aurora, Colorado; Nampa, Idaho; and Castleton, New York, following referrals from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

The agency issued Amazon citations for 14 record-keeping violations, including failing to record injuries and illnesses, misclassifying injuries and illnesses, not recording injuries and illnesses within the required time and not providing OSHA with timely injury and illness records.

Amazon has 15 business days from receipt of the citation and proposed penalty to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director or contest the findings.

“Solving health and safety problems in the workplace requires injury and illness records to be accurate and transparent,” Assistant Secretary for OSHA Doug Parker said. “Our concern is that nothing will be done to keep an injury from recurring if it isn’t even recorded in the logbook, which — in a company the size of Amazon — could have significant consequences for a large number of workers.”
