How to Report a Employer to Cal/OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulates and monitors safety in the workplace. Employers are required to follow safety policies, and consequences can be steep for those that do not comply. If employees are aware of unsafe working conditions their employer is unwilling to rectify, OSHA makes it simple to get help. Upon the employee's request, OSHA will not release their name, and if they do not choose to be anonymous, employers are prohibited from retaliating against those that file reports.
