Amazon RI warehouse faces fire safety issues
A massive Amazon warehouse in Rhode Island has been criticized for failing to adhere to fire safety protocols and for overusing emergency rescue services for medical issues among employees. Since its opening, fire responders have responded to about 200 calls, mainly for medical assistance, raising concerns about employee health and safety. Fire officials also highlighted safety issues during a fire incident, with calls for improved firefighting equipment and emergency procedures, though Amazon claims compliance with fire codes. Despite significant tax incentives, local officials express disappointment over the company's lack of responsiveness to safety concerns.
