File a Complaint
Workers have the right to report injuries, safety issues, and actions taken against them for speaking up including being fired, demoted, or disciplined. You have the right to file both complaints if appropriate.
Remember, employers are required to follow safety laws and keep you safe. Employers must also maintain a workplace free from retaliation for voicing concerns about hazards or violations of federal law.

How to File a Safety and Health Complaint
You (or your representative) have the right to file a confidential safety and health complaint and request an OSHA inspection of your workplace if you believe there is a serious hazard or if you think your employer is not following OSHA standards. The complaint should be filed as soon as possible after noticing the hazard. A signed complaint is more likely to result in an onsite inspection. Visit the Workers Rights and Protections webpage to learn more about your rights.
