Publisher's Summary
As stated in this workers rights booklet, “you have the right to a safe workplace”. This is according to The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act).
“The OSH Act gives workers the right to safe and healthful working conditions. It is the duty of employers to provide workplaces that are free of known dangers that could harm their employees. This law also gives workers important rights to participate in activities to ensure their protection from job hazards".
This audiobook explains workers’ rights to:
- File a confidential complaint with OSHA to have their workplace inspected
- Receive information and training about hazards, methods to prevent harm, and the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace
- Review records of work-related injuries and illnesses that occur in their workplace
- Receive copies of the results from tests and monitoring done to find and measure hazards in the workplace
- Get copies of their workplace medical records
- Participate in an OSHA inspection and speak in private with the inspector
- File a complaint with OSHA if they have been retaliated against by their employer as the result of requesting an inspection or using any of their other rights under the OSH Act
- File a complaint if punished or retaliated against for acting as a “whistleblower"
If you are concerned about your safety and rights within the workplace, this resource is a handy guide for future reference.
