An employee gets injured at work when he is stung by a bee, and follows the correct procedures for reporting a work injury to his employer. Soon after, his employer puts the employee on probation for violating a work rule requiring employees to "maintain situational awareness." What type of program is being misused by the employer in this scenario as a form of retaliation against the employee for reporting a workplace injury?

This is the "disciplinary procedure" for revealing work environment wounds. With this idea, the worker must have the capacity to report the damage in a convenient way and can't be struck back against by administration for doing as such. The method is just viewed as sensible on the off chance that it would not stop them from precisely detailing the damage or sickness. For this situation, the supervisor, using the probation, has disheartened the worker(s) from announcing future wounds or ailments.

A disciplinary procedure is a process for managing apparent representative unfortunate behavior. Associations will regularly have an extensive variety of disciplinary methodology to summon contingent upon the seriousness of the transgression. Disciplinary strategies differ among casual and formal procedures.

I would say that the program the employer is misusing against the employee is the  reporting of  all workplace safety hazards or injuries. The purpose of such a program as agreed to between probably the union and the safety/first aid departments of the company would be to ensure that all injuries are treated and assessed for how to avoid in the future and also all safety hazards are reported to allow action to be taken to avoid a lost time accident or even fatality.
