“Trail Of Blood” On Floor: Tesla Robot Attacks Engineer; Are Workers Safe?

 

Elon Musk, the tech tycoon, owns Tesla, an American international automotive and clean energy firm, but it hasn’t done enough to safeguard its employees. Numerous employees at the Tesla factory have had workplace accidents, explosions, and injuries from robots in the past few months.

An engineer at the Tesla factory in Austin, the state capital of Texas, was severely harmed by a robot, according to a New York Post story that cited The Information. The predicament of Tesla workers at their Texas plant has been brought to light by a recent study. Numerous employees at the Tesla facility in Texas have had injuries such as head trauma, eye wounds, electrocutions, crushed limbs, and amputations.

The Tesla plant said that a software engineer was attacked by a robot, resulting in significant injuries. The horrific event happened in 2021 at Tesla’s Giga Texas plant in Austin. The incident was disclosed in an injury report from 2021.

The defective robot was intended to transport aluminum automotive components. But the Engineer was pinned down by the robot. With its claws digging into the worker’s arm and back, the robot cut a trail of blood across the manufacturing floor.

Three robots were operational at the plant, while two were disabled for repair. According to reports, the Engineer’s left hand had an open wound.

The Information claims that there were some horrific events that happened in the Tesla facility. One worker out of every twenty-one reportedly sustained an injury at work last year. Another incident at the facility resulted in serious injury to a worker whose ankle was caught beneath a cart. Robotic injuries were reported by Tesla employees.
