Amazon
At Amazon, along with striving to be Earth’s Best Employer, we’re also committed to becoming Earth’s Safest Place to Work. Amazon’s team of approximately 75,000 UK employees carry out hundreds of different roles at sites and offices, large and small, across the country—and nothing is more important than their safety in the workplace.
It’s woven into everything that we do, and we’re focused on ensuring everyone’s safety and wellbeing every single day. When people come to work for us, we want to ensure they have the tools, knowledge, and resources to work safely. Amazon employs over 300 professionals working in the safety field across the UK. These people are experts in safety compliance, best practices, industry standards, and risk prevention. We measure our progress in safety by using external and independent data, as well as our own internal data. This progress in creating a safer workplace is the result of investments of more than $1 billion globally in safety initiatives, technologies, and programmes since 2019.
We obsess over every aspect of our working environment and continuously make changes which improve safety and reduce accidents, which includes introducing job rotation within our fulfillment centres to help reduce repetitive strain injuries. We’ve continued to invest in our robotics that help make our operations safer and we even offer apprenticeships in safety.
