The findings mirror a similar report Amazon released this year, showing the same injury rate for its warehouses, as well as a recordable injury rate of 6.7% across its U.S. operations, compared to 7.6% in 2021.

Injuries at Amazon have typically been higher compared to its peers in the industry, which critics and labor safety experts blame on the company鈥檚 fast-paced warehouses that track productivity and allow customers to get their packages quickly. The report released Wednesday said Amazon鈥檚 injury rate was 70% higher in 2022 compared to non-Amazon warehouses.

The retail gaint has and has said its trying to improve it. But that hasn鈥檛 stopped probes into the issue from federal safety regulators who鈥檝e citied several Amazon warehouses in the past few months for or in some warehouses. Those citations were made by OSHA, which opened inspections into facilities last summer after receiving referrals from the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office for the Southern District of New York.

The study showed slight improvements in the company鈥檚 serious injury rate 鈥� 6.6 per 100 workers in 2022, compared to 6.8 in 2021. But it also noted Amazon accounted for more than half of all serious injuries in the industry despite only employing 36% of warehouse workers in the country.

The group calculates serious injury rates as days away from work, job restrictions or transfers due to injuries - otherwise known as 鈥淒ART鈥� rates. Amazon says that's misleading because DART captures any injury that could lead to an employee taking time away from work.

鈥淭he safety and health of our employees is, and always will be, our top priority, and any claim otherwise is inaccurate," said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel. 鈥淚t鈥檚 unsurprising that a self-interested group like this would work to twist the facts to paint an inaccurate picture.鈥�
