Alicia has filed a complaint regarding a serious hazard that could result in a fatality or serious injury. How will OSHA most likely respond? - Conduct a worksite inspection An employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for each work group at the end of each month in which all members of the work group comply with applicable safety rules, such as wearing required fall protection. Doug sustains a lost-time injury when he falls from a platform while not wearing required fall protection. Doug's employer cancelled the cash prize drawing for Doug's work group that month because Doug failed to wear required fall protection. The employer actively monitors its workforce for compliance with applicable work rules and cancels the cash prize drawings when it discovers work rule violations regardless of whether the employee who violated the work rule also reported an injury. Did the employer use an incentive program to retaliate against Doug? - No An employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for each work group at the end of each month in which no employee in the work group sustains a lost-time injury. Tyra reports an injury that she sustained while operating a mechanical power press. Tyra did not violate any employer safety rules when she sustained her injury. Tyra's injury requires her to miss work for two days. Her employer cancels the cash prize drawing for that month for Tyra's work group because of Tyra's losttime injury. Did the employer misuse an incentive program to retaliate against Tyra? - Yes An OSHA inspection was conducted at Raul's workplace. He is curious about the results and wonders what actions his employers might have to take to fix any issues found during the inspection. Does Raul have a right to this information? - Yes As an employee, you have the right to request copies of your medical records. Is this statement true or false? - True Carla reports a hand injury that she sustained while operating a saw after bypassing the guard on the saw, contrary to the employer's work rule. Carla's hand injury required her to miss work for two days. Carla's employer disciplined her for bypassing the guard contrary to its instructions. The employerregularly monitors its workforce for safety rule violations and disciplines employees who bypass machine guards regardless of whether they report injuries. Did the employer use a disciplinary program to retaliate against Carla for reporting the workplace injury? - No Dana was required by her employer to take a drug test after Dana reported work-related carpal tunnel syndrome. Her employer had no reasonable basis for suspecting that drug use could have contributed to her condition, and it had no other reasonable basis for requiring her to take a drug test. Rather, her employer routinely subjects all employees who report work-related injuries to a drug test regardless of the circumstances surrounding the injury. The state workers' compensation program applicable to the employer did not address drug testing, and no other state or federal law requires the employer to drug test employees who sustain injuries at work. Did the employer subject Dana to a drug test to retaliate against her for reporting a workplace injury? - Yes During an OSHA inspection: - You have the right to talk to the inspector privately Employers are allowed to use appropriate disciplinary, incentive, or drug-testing programs in the workplace.
