OSHA Debuts Whistleblower Web Site
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to " help ensure that employees are, in fact, free to participate in safety and health activities," has created a dedicated Web site entitled Whistleblower.gov.
While those who wish to file complaints of retaliation for whistleblower acts must still do so in writing, the site provides detailed information and instructions on filing such grievances.
The site also rolls out details about new protections effective March 23, 2010, coincident with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the health care reform measure now being incrementally implemented.
Whistleblower rights are a mandatory notification and are included on all Personnel Concepts’ Space Saver-2 All-On-One OSHA Safety Posters under the panel entitled "OSHA Fact Sheet."
