Workplace Safety
Along with being Earth’s Best Employer, we’re also committed to becoming Earth’s Safest Place to Work. Across the country, Amazon’s team of around 75,000 people carry out hundreds of different roles at sites and offices, large and small—and nothing is more important than their safety in the workplace. We have been turning this commitment into reality through global investments of more than $1 billion in safety initiatives, technologies and programmes since 2019.
Inside Amazon's new European Operations Innovation Lab
Amazon's Operations Innovation Lab, located near Vercelli in the Northern Italian region of Piedmont, is an international centre for technological experimentation that seeks to improve employee working conditions, enhance the customer experience and make our processes more sustainable. And for the first time, it's now to open to the public.
“Everyone wants to make a meaningful impact at work. After years in operational roles, I joined Amazon as a Regional Safety Manager where I was given a platform to drive positive change. Thanks to Amazon’s Career Choice programme, I also had the chance to deepen my expertise by completing a Diploma in Environmental Health and Safety. With most of my course fees covered, I was able to broaden my knowledge and accelerate my career like never before."
Adam, Regional Safety Manager at Amazon
The health and safety of our employees is our top priority
We’ve continued to invest in our robotics that help make our operations safer. We also offer apprenticeships in safety.
But don’t take our word for it. We encourage you to come and see for yourselves. You can book and tour and visit one of our fulfilment centres and find out more about our employees.
