The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a hazard alert letter to Amazon for the Dec. 10, 2021 incident that left six workers dead.
On that day, the workers were killed when a series of tornadoes hit a warehouse (DLI4) in Edwardsville, IL. One employee was also critically wounded.
OSHA’s letter, signed by Area Director Aaron Priddy, did not mention any violation or citations for Amazon, saying the Seattle-headquartered company’s severe weather emergency procedures met minimal federal safety guidelines for storm sheltering.
