US lawmakers urge scrutiny of SpaceX worker injuries after Reuters report
Three U.S. lawmakers are calling for greater scrutiny of worker safety at Elon Musk's SpaceX following a Reuters investigation that documented hundreds of injuries at the rocket company's U.S. manufacturing and launch sites.
What they should really be Investigating is why all of Elon's companies have higher injury rates than others in their industry.
Elon works his employees to death, I have several friends that got hired by SpaceX and Tesla after we all graduated and they told me they often work 60-80 hour weeks on salary but that "they build cool shit" so it's "worth it" lol.
The question is if SpaceX has more injuries compared to similar aerospace and construction businesses.
Construction is a dangerous job.
From the article
The Reuters report found that injury rates at three major SpaceX industrial facilities in Texas and California far exceeded the average for the space industry.
Elon: bans hi-vis safety colors from factories
Elon when injury rates and severity increase:
They are referral to space industry. I was wondering how that compares to the construction industry. SpaceX does a lot more construction than most space industry companies.
That is exactly what they say in the 3. sentence of the article.
