• Receive information and training (in a language and vocabulary the worker understands) about workplace
hazards, methods to prevent them, and the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace.
• Review records of work-related injuries and illnesses.
• File a complaint asking OSHA to inspect their workplace if they believe there is a serious hazard or that their
employer is not following OSHA’s rules. OSHA will keep all identities confidential.
• Exercise their rights under the law without retaliation, including reporting an injury or raising health and
safety concerns with their employer or OSHA. If a worker has been retaliated against for using their rights, they
must file a complaint with OSHA as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days.
