Description

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Workers who "blow the whistle" on prohibited or unlawful practices that they discover during their employment can play an important role in the enforcement of fed. laws. However, these whistleblowers may also risk reprisals from their employers. Fed. laws establish whistleblower protection processes, whereby workers who believe that they have faced retaliation for blowing the whistle can report it to the appropriate fed. agency. OSHA is responsible for investigating whistleblower complaints filed by non-fed. workers. This report found that OSHA has done little to ensure that investigators have the necessary training to do their jobs, and that it lacks sufficient internal controls to ensure that the whistleblower program operates as intended. Illustrations.
