Workplace Safety
The health and safety of our employees is our top priority—and has been since Day 1. We’ve taken many proactive measures to keep our employees safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer widespread COVID-19 testing for employees and have provided more than 283 million masks, 450 million ounces of sanitizing spray, and 1.5 trillion wipes. We also provide two weeks paid time off for anyone diagnosed with the virus or placed in quarantine. Since March 2020, Amazon has invested $13.5 billion to help keep employees safe and get products to customers.
