An investigation by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that ecommerce behemoth Amazon allegedly failed to ensure employees received adequate medical treatment for traumatic and chronic injuries.

OSHA identified six employees who suffered from head injuries as well as four workers who suffered from back injuries who did not receive timely, necessary medical care at a fulfillment center in Castleton, New York, according to a press release on April 28. The injured workers were reportedly asked to get back to their jobs, which in many cases ended up making the injuries worse.
