How Can I Report a Company to OSHA?

If you believe that your employer is violating OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations, or if you have experienced a hazardous situation at work, you may want to report the issue to OSHA. Reporting a company to OSHA can help to ensure that the issue is addressed and that the company is held accountable for any violations. Here are the steps you can follow to report a company to OSHA:

  • Determine if the issue is within OSHA's jurisdiction: OSHA is responsible for enforcing safety and health regulations in most private sector industries, as well as in state and local government agencies. 
  • Gather information about the hazard or violation: To report a company to OSHA, you will need to provide specific information about the hazard or violation that you are reporting. 
  • Contact OSHA: There are several ways to report a company to OSHA, including calling the agency's toll-free number, contacting your local OSHA office, or filling out an online form on OSHA's website. You can also report a company to OSHA anonymously if you prefer.
  • Provide OSHA with the information you have gathered: When you contact OSHA, you will need to provide the agency with the information you have gathered about the hazard or violation. 

By following these steps, you can report a company to OSHA and help to ensure that any hazards or violations at your workplace are addressed. Keep in mind that it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for reporting a violation to OSHA, so you can make a report without fear of retribution. Reporting a company to OSHA can help to protect not only your safety and health but also the safety and health of your coworkers.
