Question: 1 / 400

If a labor representative calls OSHA about safety violations, what action can the employer take against the worker for reporting these violations?

Fire them

Reduce their pay

Demote them to a lower job

Nothing

When a labor representative reports safety violations to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), the employer is legally prohibited from retaliating against the worker for their whistleblowing activities. The Occupational Safety and Health Act protects employees who report unsafe working conditions or violations of safety regulations from any form of retaliation, including termination, pay reductions, demotion, or other disciplinary actions.

This protection aims to encourage a safe working environment by allowing workers to speak up about hazards without the fear of losing their jobs or facing other negative consequences. OSHA takes such retaliation claims seriously and will investigate any reported incidents where an employee believes they have been punished for reporting safety violations. The legislation is designed to uphold workers' rights and promote safety within the workplace.
