> serious injury rate of 26 per 100 workers

Do you know the time period for this stat, I couldn't find it in the linked article.

The OSHA incident rate is per 200,000 employee-hours, which is roughly 100 people, full-time, for a year.

So for every 100 people that Amazon employs full-time-equivalent in that warehouse, about 26 of them will have a serious OSHA-reported incident each year.

In the chemical laboratory this would be unacceptable.
It is unacceptable here as well.
