Answer 1

A statement that describe this is there is an imminent danger situation at her workplace and she faced threats of termination from her employer, which is a clear violation of workers' rights and the principles of workplace safety.

Every employee has the right to a safe and healthy working environment. When an employee identifies a safety hazard or an imminent danger situation, it is not only their right but also their responsibility to report it to the appropriate authorities such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA to ensure the safety of themselves and their colleagues.

Any retaliation such as the threat of termination for reporting a safety concern is unlawful and goes against the principles of whistleblower protection provided by OSHA. Employers are legally prohibited from taking adverse actions against employees who exercise their rights to report safety hazards.

Answer 2

Here's all I know

Step-by-step explanation:

OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA's responsibility is worker safety and health protection. The U.S. Congress created OSHA under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act). Congress passed the law and established OSHA "to assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.

OSHA began because, until 1970, there were no national laws for safety and health hazards.
