Constant ambulances

Ambulances visited Amazon’s UK warehouses 600 times in the past three years, according to an investigation by the GMB union.

GMB made freedom of information requests to ambulance services near the 14 UK warehouses to gather the data.

An Amazon warehouse near Birmingham had 115 ambulance visits including two for electrocution and three for major trauma. A nearby Tesco warehouse that employs only 500 fewer people had eight ambulance calls over the same time period.  8 vs 115!
