"Tesla’s safety problems at its Nevada Gigafactory detailed in new report", 12 November 2019

Tesla Gigafactory workers have been struggling with workplace safety issues, a local housing shortage, and even a lack of bathrooms at work, according to a new report by USA Today....

...Analysis of 911 call and Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspection records...claimed injuries at Gigafactory are routine -- “at least three a month” -- but not all injuries are reported as required by law...

Tesla employees reportedly called 911 more than once a day on average in 2018, and some calls concerned possibly avoidable and grisly incidents, like “head injuries from unsecured construction debris blowing off the roof in a windstorm, and people falling through holes in the floor.”...

...The company has paid $26,900 for workplace safety violations at the Gigafactory since 2017...often negotiating a lower fine after reporting an injury or safety issue...

...Tesla told USA Today... “Tesla, our suppliers, and our contractors make up over 10,000 people on-site — the size of a small city...To report that both personal and work-related medical emergencies over the course of four years make Tesla an outlier is unfair and misleading.”
