OSHA Recommended Practices for Employers for Preventing and Addressing Retaliation

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has published a draft document intended to “help employers” to develop a program to protect employees from retaliation when issues or concerns about workplace conditions or activities that could harm workers or members of the public are raised.

 

The draft, Protecting Whistleblowers: Recommended Practices for Employers for Preventing and Addressing Retaliation, the Agency believes, will assist employers in creating a “non-retaliatory environment” in the workplace by providing “practical guidance on protecting whistleblower rights for public, private, and non-profit employers.” The draft document contains sections on how to include leadership commitment, foster an anti-retaliation culture, respond to reports of retaliation, conduct anti-retaliation training, and monitor progress and program improvement.
