A SpaceX 労働者苦しむd a '近づく amputation' of his foot while working at 億万長者 owner Elon Musk 's factory in Washington. The 出来事/事件 ― which began when a roll of 構成要素 fell and 鎮圧するd a 労働者's foot and resulted in a $3,600 罰金 from regulators ― joins no いっそう少なく than 600 以前 unreported 傷害s 明らかにするd late last year , 含むing over one hundred 事例／患者s with 厳しい dama ge and at least one death.

That investigative 報告（する）／憶測 by Reuters 一致するd four concussions, 17 事例／患者s where 手渡すs or fingers were '鎮圧するd,' eight that 要求するd amputations, five electrocutions, 29 事例／患者s with broken or dislocated bones, and many more. But, にもかかわらず SpaceX's far-above-普通の／平均（する）率 of 労働者傷害s, Musk's 会社／堅い has 直面するd いっそう少なく th an $51,000 in 政府刑罰，罰則s, a 減少（する） in the bucket と一緒に the $11.8 billion in 航空宇宙局契約s it has enjoyed since its 設立するing in 2002.

One disaffected former 従業員, Travis Carson, has 述べるd 'SpaceX's idea of safety is: "We'll let you decide what's 安全な for you," which really means there was no accountability.' Carson, a former welder and 生産／産物監督者 at SpaceX's factory and 開始する，打ち上げる施設 in Browns ville, Texas , told Reuters reporters that several of the 事故s he 証言，証人／目撃するd would be 'a 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing 罪／違反 at other places.'

'But not at SpaceX,' Carson said. 'They needed 団体／死体s, and Elon needed stuff done.' Another SpaceX 労働者せいにするd this 最新の known on-場所／位置傷害 � � the '近づく amputation' at the Redmond 場所／位置 ― to safety 公式の／役人s who do not 'have the reading comprehension nor the 全体にわたる competency to 器具／実施する a safety 計画（する）.' The 労働者, 引用するd 不明な in the 政府調査 that led to the $3,600 罰金, told 視察官s that the 危険な条件 in question had not been a mere 事故.

First, the machine which held the 激しい rolls of 構成要素, which 原因（となる）d the 傷害, 'had been deliberately 始める，決める up incorrectly for the 目的 of 増加するing the 生産／産物率 during the 構成要素負担ing 段階.' Second, the 負わせる of each roll that SpaceX 従業員s were 仕事d with 負担ing into the machine had been 増加するd from 80 続けざまに猛撃するs to 300 続けざまに猛撃するs each. Third, as 政府視察官s soon discovered, SpaceX's Redmond 従業員s were not 要求するd to wear 保護の steel-toed shoes ― an oversight that the 機関's spokesperson 述べるd to Reuters as a serious 違反. いっそう少なく than 24 hours after the roll had 鎮圧するd the 従業員's foot, another 事故 occurred: an 身元不明の従業員 broke their ankle during a 解雇する／砲火／射撃 alarm.

視察官s 決定するd that SpaceX was not liable for the broken ankle 出来事/事件 and was not 罰金d as a result. Musk is 井戸／弁護士席 known for running his companies with a high level of intensity, 推定する／予想するing 労働者s go '極端に hardcore' in 栄誉（を受ける） of his companies' lofty sense of 目的. 'Elon's 概念 that SpaceX is on this 使節団 to go to 火星 as 急速な／放蕩な as possible and save humanity permeates every part of the company,' Tom Moline, a former SpaceX 上級の avionics engineer, told Reuters. Moline was one of several 従業員s 解雇する／砲火／射撃d after raising workplace safety （民事の）告訴s.

'The company 正当化するs casting aside anything that could stand in the way of 遂行する ing that goal,' Moline said, '含むing 労働者 safety.' At one 出来事/事件 at Musk's SpaceX 施設 in McGregor, Texas, Lonnie LeBlanc and his co-労働者s realized they had a problem. They needed to 輸送（する）泡，激怒すること insulation to the ロケット／急騰する company's main hangar but had no ひもで縛るs to 安全な・保証する the 貨物.?LeBlanc, a 比較して new 従業員, 申し込む／申し出d a 解答 to 持つ／拘留する負かす／撃墜する the 負担: He sat on it. After the トラックで運ぶ drove away, a gust of 勝利，勝つd blew LeBlanc and the insulation off the trailer, slamming him headfirst into the pavement. LeBlanc, 38, who had retired nine months earlier from the U.S. 海洋軍団. He was pronounced dead from 長，率いる外傷／ショック at the scene.

連邦の視察官s with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health 行政 (OSHA) later 決定するd that SpaceX had failed to 保護する LeBlanc from a （疑いを）晴らす hazard, 公式文書，認めるing the gravity and severity of the 違反. LeBlanc's co-労働者s told OSHA that SpaceX had no convenient 接近 to tie-負かす／撃墜するs and no 過程 or oversight for 扱うing such 負担s. SpaceX 定評のある the problems, and the 機関教えるd the company to make seven 明確な／細部 safety 改良s, 含むing more training and 器具／備品, によれば the 査察報告（する）／憶測. Musk himself at times appeared cavalier about safety on visits to SpaceX 場所／位置s: Four 従業員s said he いつかs played with a novelty flamethrower.

For years, Musk and his 副s 設立する it 'hilarious' to wave the flamethrower around, 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing it 近づく other people and giggling 'like they were in middle school,' one engineer said. Musk tweeted in 2018 that the flamethrower was '保証（人）d to liven up any party!' At SpaceX, Musk played with the 装置 in の近くに-４半期/4分の1s office settings, said the engineer, who at one point 恐れるd Musk would 始める，決める someone's hair on 解雇する／砲火／射撃. Last year, an open letter penned by some SpaceX 従業員s 非難するd Musk's 行為 as a 'source of distraction and 当惑.'

But some at SpaceX have spoken 高度に of the efficiency that comes with いっそう少なく官僚主義 under Musk's leadership. 'There's a 確かな量 of red tape that SpaceX 避けるs, which 許すs it to move faster' said former company engineer Chris Cunnington, who worked at the McGregor, Texas 場所／位置. にもかかわらず its integral 役割 in 基金ing SpaceX, to the tune of $11.8 billion in 契約s, the 航空宇宙局 has not commented on Musk's company's safety 記録，記録的な／記録する. But the US space 機関 said that 保持するs the 力／強力にする to 施行する契約準備／条項s 要求するing SpaceX to 器具／実施する 'a 強健な and 効果的な safety program and culture.'?Read the 十分な story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13088831/elon-musk-spacex-amputation-傷害s-death.html?ito=msngallery
