NOTE: If you are in immediate danger, inform your supervisor as soon as possible and/or call OSHA at 800-321-OSHA (6742). Although you may be legally permitted to walk off the job if you are in imminent danger, your right to do so is limited, therefore, it is best to report the hazard before you make the decision to walk off the job.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) publishes rules and enforces the Occupational Safety and Health Act (also OSHA), which protect workers from on-the-job injuries and illness. Read below to find out what measures your employer is required to take to keep your workplace safe, and what you can do if you believe that the appropriate measures are not being taken.
