If you suspected a hazardous work situation, you have the right to ________ with OSHA without fear of losing your job.

• A. File a complaint
• B. Ignore it
• C. Apply for another job
• D. Delay reporting

Answer: (A)

Workers are protected when reporting hazardous conditions. If you suspect a dangerous work situation, you have the right to file a complaint with OSHA without fear of losing your job. OSHA’s protections prohibit retaliation, so you can raise safety concerns and request an inspection without worrying about being fired. You can file complaints online, by phone, or in writing, and your concern can be kept confidential in many cases. Taking action helps fix the hazard and keeps you and others safe. Ignoring it or delaying reporting won’t resolve the danger, and applying for another job doesn’t address the unsafe condition where you work.
