Question

As a lab tech at the base hospital, you have seen fellow employees routinely trip over the cord to a diagnostic machine. You would like to report this hazard to your supervisor, but are concerned he might be angry with you if you do so. Do you have an inspection anonymously option?

Answer 1

You have the right to report hazards anonymously under the OSH Act to ensure workplace safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a lab tech at the base hospital, you have the right to report a hazard anonymously if you are concerned about potential negative consequences. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), workers and their representatives have the right to ask for an inspection without their employer being informed of who filed the complaint. It is also a violation of the OSH Act for an employer to retaliate against a worker for filing a complaint or using other OSHA rights.
