The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (“OSHA”) prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for exercising rights under OSHA such as:
- Filing a health complaint,
- Raising a health concern,
- Reporting a workplace injury, or
- participating in an OSHA inspection
Employees who suffer Retaliation can file complaints with OSHA. However, employees must report the employer’s conduct within weeks of the wrong. Employees might have a wrongful termination claim if they are terminated for filing a complaint with OSHA or raising safety concerns.
If you were wronged by your employer, act now.
