Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (“OSHA”) provides various workplace safety standards. OSHA also specifically prohibits retaliation against an employee for filing a complaint or testifying about violations of occupational health and safety standards. There are other federal laws which make it unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee who reports violations or testifies with respect to the Clean Air Act or the Water Pollution Control Act. Additionally, there are several state statutes which protect employees who report safety hazards from retaliation.
