Identify the correct statement regarding how to file an OSHA workplace health, safety or hazard complaint.
  1. Employees must report to direct supervisor before filing an official OSHA concern.
  2. Complaints must be submitted via U.S. mail or confidential phone line.
  3. The employee must add the violation code to the complaint to ensure accuracy.
  4. Complaints can be submitted for concerns from the previous six months.
  5. If an employee has experienced retaliation from a report, they should avoid complaining.
Explanation
Answer: D - An OSHA workplace health, safety or hazard complaint can be submitted for concerns that occurred within the previous six months.

Employees are free to report concerns to direct supervisors if they are comfortable. Complaints are not mandated to go through a supervisor. Employees can submit complaints or concerns to OSHA via online, fax, mail or phone. No specific code reference is needed; the employee can simply state the safety concern. If an employee has experienced retaliation from voicing a concern they can opt to file a whistle blower complaint.
