What should an employee do if they believe their workplace has unsafe or unhealthy conditions?

Answer

An employee who believes their workplace has unsafe or unhealthy conditions should report the issue through the proper company channels, such as to a supervisor, management, or safety committee, and may also have the right to report it to organizations like OSHA. Discussing it only with a coworker does not fix the problem, and waiting for a scheduled OSHA inspection can leave workers exposed to ongoing hazards.
