Reporting OSHA Violations

We received a question from a reader about reporting OSHA violations. She wanted to know if she could report them anonymously, and how to do it.

We always recommend contacting your company first before reporting violations to OSHA. Often times they are unaware of the safety problem, and alerting them will allow them to fix it.

If you need to report a violation, you can call the OSHA hotline at 1-800-321-OSHA. They will keep your identity a secret.
