  2. Employees have a right to a safe workplace, and employers have a duty to provide it to them.

  4. OSH ACT – EMPLOYEE RIGHTS Employees also have certain rights under OSHA to ensure their right to a safe workplace is realized. These rights include: The right to ask an employer to correct a hazardous or unsafe working condition ❏ The right to file a complaint with OSHA about an unsafe working condition and request an OSHA inspector visit the workplace ❏ The right to participate in the OSHA investigation, including speaking with the OSHA inspector privately about any injuries, accidents, illnesses or other information vital to the inspection ❏ The right to review the results from the OSHA inspection, and request a review of a decision not to file a citation against the employer ❏
