Elon Musk's Dislike For Bright Colors, Ambitious Timelines Have Made SpaceX An Unsafe Workplace, Says Damning Report
A recent report by Reuters suggests that SpaceX employees are resorting to drastic measures, including using stimulants and IV fluids and even sleeping in restrooms, to keep pace with Elon Musk's ambitious project timelines.
路透社最近的一份報告表明 SpaceX 員工正在採取嚴厲措施，包括使用興奮劑和靜脈輸液，甚至在洗手間睡覺，以跟上步伐 埃隆馬斯克雄心勃勃的項目時間表。
What Happened: The investigation by Reuters, which examined the period from 2014 to the present, revealed over 600 work-related injuries at SpaceX.
發生了什麼： 路透社的調查調查了從2014年至今的時期，顯示SpaceX有600多起與工傷有關的傷害。
The investigation also uncovered the extreme lengths to which employees have gone to meet the demands of their work. Some staff members have reportedly taken Adderall without a prescription and have been found sleeping in the company's bathrooms to save time.
調查還發現，員工爲滿足工作要求付出了極大的努力。據報道，一些員工在沒有處方的情況下服用了Adderall，並被發現在公司的浴室裏睡覺以節省時間。
Former SpaceX employee Travis Carson shared insights with Reuters about the work culture, highlighting the staff's long hours and challenging conditions. The company's welders, in particular, often dealt with high temperatures while working on rocket machinery, leading them to seek IV treatments to endure the heat and continue working, he said.
SpaceX 前員工 特拉維斯·卡森 與路透社分享了有關工作文化的見解，重點介紹了員工的長時間工作和艱難的條件。他說，特別是該公司的焊工，在火箭機械上工作時經常會遇到高溫，這導致他們尋求靜脈治療以承受高溫並繼續工作。
"SpaceX's idea of safety is: 'We'll let you decide what's safe for you,' which really means there was no accountability," said Carson. "That's a terrible approach to take in industrial environments."
卡森說：“SpaceX的安全理念是：'我們會讓你決定什麼對你來說是安全的，'這實際上意味着沒有問責制。”“在工業環境中，這是一種糟糕的方法。”

With approximately 13,000 employees, SpaceX has reported many worker injuries over the past nine years. The number of injuries could be higher than reported, as the company has not consistently submitted comprehensive reports to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, according to Reuters. Furthermore, injury rates at three major SpaceX industrial facilities far exceeded the space-industry average last year.
SpaceX擁有約13,000名員工，在過去九年中報告了許多工人受傷。受傷人數可能高於報告的數量，因爲該公司沒有持續向該公司提交全面的報告 職業的 安全與健康管理局，據路透社報道。此外，去年，SpaceX三大工業設施的受傷率遠遠超過了航天工業的平均水平。
The report also highlighted concerns regarding workplace safety practices at SpaceX. For instance, Musk's preferences for certain colors reportedly led to the repainting of machinery and discouraged the use of standard safety vests. Several SpaceX workers told Reuters that Musk discouraged employees from wearing yellow-colored clothes for safety purposes because he does not like bright colors.
該報告還強調了對SpaceX工作場所安全措施的擔憂。例如，據報道，馬斯克偏愛某些顏色，導致機器被重新粉刷，不鼓勵使用標準安全背心。幾位SpaceX工作人員告訴路透社，出於安全考慮，馬斯克不鼓勵員工穿黃色的衣服，因爲他不喜歡鮮豔的色彩。
The employees also said that Musk would play around with a novelty flamethrower during visits that the billionaire made to SpaceX sites.
員工們還表示，在這位億萬富翁訪問SpaceX基地期間，馬斯克將玩一款新穎的火焰噴射器。
While SpaceX did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment, the company previously informed OSHA that it provides adequate safety training to its workforce.
儘管SpaceX沒有回應路透社的置評請求，但該公司此前曾告知職業安全與健康管理局，它爲員工提供了足夠的安全培訓。
