Workers in the Tesla factory have an accident rate exceeding the industry level, and they all say that manufacturing "hell" is safe.

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: According to foreign media reports, on Friday, Silicon Valley Iron Man Masquek held a grand delivery ceremony at the Fremont factory, he was like a rock star when he spoke on stage.

Although the previous production capacity climbed quite slowly, Musk said that he would increase the monthly production capacity of Model 3 to 20,000 units by the end of the year. Even he himself said that the process of climbing the entire capacity will be quite cruel. "We may go through six months of manufacturing hell," Musk said at the delivery ceremony.

However, employees at the Fremont factory said they have begun to experience the feeling of "hell."

“What we worry about most is our health and safety,” the staff at the Fremont plant wrote in a letter. Only three days after the Model 3 delivery ceremony, this letter of complaint was submitted to the desk of the independent board member.

“The accident happened almost every day, which not only affected the morale of the employees, but also caused the production delay. We lost a lot of good employees, they are very important to the production team, but now they can only rest in the hospital, and their injuries In fact, it can be avoided," wrote the complaint.

In May of this year, Worksafe, a California-based worker safety organization, published a long-form investigation report after analyzing the work injury situation in Tesla.

They found that Tesla's “recordable accident rate” was 8.8% in 2015 (ie 8.8 injuries per 100 workers), but the “recordable accident rate” for the entire automotive industry was only 6.7%.

It should be noted that Tesla's accident rate is even higher than that of sawmills and slaughterhouses by comparing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among them, the sawmill accident rate is only 7.3%, and the slaughterhouse is roughly the same level. This means that the Tesla factory with a clear window has no flesh and blood and a sawmill and sawmill safety.

In fact, the safety of Tesla workers has not been a new topic. In February this year, a worker named Moran detailed the working environment of the Tesla factory on the content reading platform Medium. At the end of the article, he also advocated that everyone unite to form an alliance. Moran said: "We are trying to build the best car in the world, but I feel that the future factory work environment is in the past."

“Our CEO Musk is unparalleled in clean energy and innovation, but I hope he can treat his employees up and down,” Moran said.

Tesla’s workers said they want to know what the dangers of their work are, and they want to contribute to improving these security issues.

In addition to safety considerations, workers also want to know exactly how to get promoted in Tesla. “Many of us have worked hard for many years, but we have never been promoted,” wrote the complaint.

At the same time, the starting salary of the Fremont factory employees is also low, only 18 US dollars / hour, while the average hourly salary of the automotive industry employees is 25.58 US dollars / hour. The workers said in the letter: "We believe that a clear understanding of the promotion and rewards of workers will affect the quality of Tesla's products."

In addition, Tesla employees said they wanted to have the right to express their opinions, but now they are afraid to swear because they are afraid of retaliation.

Regarding the problems reflected by the employees, the Tesla spokesperson responded, “We have encountered many challenges in learning to become a car manufacturer, but everyone should look to the future. After many changes, our accident rate It has fallen to the lowest level in the industry."

Residual Current Circuit Breaker


RCCB named Residual Current Circuit Breaker. When there is human electricity shock or if the leakage current of the line exceeds the prescribed value, Residual current circuit breaker/RCCB(without over-current protection) will cut off the power rapidly to protect human safety and prevent the accident due to the current leakage. The rccb switch which made from Korlen electric can be used as infrequent changeover of the line in normal situation.

Korlen electric ---- the rccb switch manufacturer,produces types of Residual Current Circuit Breaker. It is applicable to industrial site, commercial site, tall building and civil house.
