An employee at Amazon's PDX9 fulfillment center in Troutdale, Oregon, died last week while on duty, prompting concerns over workplace safety. Reports indicate that operations continued even after the worker collapsed. Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson expressed condolences and stated that the company is in contact with the worker's family. Following the incident, employees were sent home early and compensated for their shifts. Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reviewed the case and determined that the death was not related to workplace conditions. However, the facility has previously faced scrutiny over its safety practices, with a significant number of injuries reported in past investigations. Amazon has claimed a 43% decline in its global recordable incident rate since 2019 and has invested over $2.5 billion in safety measures. The incident raises ongoing concerns about working conditions at Amazon warehouses, which have been the subject of multiple investigations.
