The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is making it easier than ever for whistlerblowers. The administration announced in a press release late last week they are allowing complaints to be filed online for workers who feel they have been retaliated against. Previously, workers had to call the agency’s office or file a written complaint, but now, they can simply submit online.
“The ability of workers to speak out and exercise their rights without fear of retaliation provides the backbone for some of American workers’ most essential protections,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupation Safety and Health, Dr. David Michaels in a statement. “Whistleblower laws protect not only workers, but also the public at large and now workers will have an additional avenue available to file a complaint with OSHA,” he said.
