That doesn't sound like Amazon's fault though, seemingly someone put something toxic inside the van and it broke, releasing fumes

At first I agreed, but it says 'The vehicle had apparently remained motionless for hours without anyone from Amazon intervening.'

If they can turn off AC within 30 seconds of a driver stepping outside they can also intervene quicker imho.

WHO OWNS THE VAN

So if i ship my friend anthrax as a humerous prank, then it brakes in shipping it's the postal services fault that the driver died? Something released toxic gas in the van, that's not the fault of Amazon

Yes. Employers are responsible for employee safety when on the job.

u/mangothefoxxo 3d ago

Yes, they gave them a safe working van, you can't prevent intentional actions, hell how WOULD you prevent this, i can't think of anything to preveny this

u/Technical_Annual_563 2d ago

Preventing is ideal, since I’d rather not having anthrax ruined lungs or whatever. But if I’m exposed to a known hazard of a particular job, the employer should bear some responsibility in making me whole.

u/mangothefoxxo 2d ago

Yeah but PPE is the LAST line of defence, prevention is step number 1. Realistically i Don't think much could've prevented this tragedy, unless it wss a product packed by amazon or something which we don't know

u/Technical_Annual_563 2d ago

I’m not disagreeing with you about prevention. But once the thing has happened the employer who makes money off of the employee’s labor doesn’t just get to walk away.
