chaotic workplace
Reuters is reporting on an employee who died while working. He wanted to sit on top of a trailer and get some foam insulation. They had no belts. After the vehicle moved off, the employee fell from the trailer and suffered a traumatic brain injury.

According to current and former employees, the cause of the accidents was a chaotic workplace. The staff is not adequately trained in security measures, and the deadlines for Musk’s assignments are too ambitious, leading to additional pressure. Musk himself doesn’t care much about security. The report says he sometimes played with a flamethrower.
No response from Space X
Space X did not respond to Reuters’ questions about the allegations. In written responses to individual cases, the company writes that it provides extensive safety training to American occupational safety officials. A malfunction such as a falling part of a rocket engine was unforeseen, and the responsibility for such an injury lies with many employees.
However, the security official told Reuters that the employer is responsible for the safety of employees. (brother)
