You're the man. I am currently dealing with a case and when I was losing my mind and depressed last November, I watched your videos and it helped me to organize things and know my rights. I'm currently going to district court over backpay for UI and I am going to file in federal court before December, got my eeoc right to use letter mid September. Thank you so much for the helpful information and the encouragement and direction!
My bosses wanted me to use my nose as a chlorine gas detector instead of buying a $300 chlorine gas detector. We had a history at our water treatment facilities of chlorine gas leaks and employees being gagged out of the building. They did end up buying a detector, but I have been treated very differently since bringing this up in the safety committee meetings. I believe i was retaliated against. They made me do sewer work instead of going to the drinking water plant while I was upgraded to the water plant pay (normally at the plant for this). Since then I have brought up.other safety issues and have been warned not to send these issues out via our department "Team" text - these were warning text messages for the safety of the crew. I have a target on my back now and it feels like I am considered the problem child of the department. I do document, and report. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
OSHA whistleblower protection under 11c you must file within 30 days from the date of the offense or retaliatory act. You watch your back brother trust little to no one. You sound like a good dude and I hate to hear your employer is treating you like that. By law your employer is not supposed to retaliate against you for reporting safety issues at work. Sadly they often do.Make sure you listen to Mr. Robertson’s videos he is very knowledgeable and his knowledge about how to CYA is very valuable. Good luck 👍🏻
This is why companies who are classified as "high risk" must have a safety department, mostly known as your EHS- Environmental, Health, and Safety. Our whole job is to fight for worker's safety and use a wide range of engineering controls and administrative controls to eliminate or showcase the hazard. Don't worry, you can come to us and make report anonymously too. If you want change, then make sure you participate in your Near-Miss Program and ask for monthly updates on the status of your submitted hazard. This is the best way to document safety hazards and for EHS to directly get involved into fixing them.
I work at an oil refinery in California and the refinery had us load railcars with product from a sphere that had been contaminated with H2S but they didn't tell us, the loaders. The levels of H2S were at 2300ppm, H2S is deadly at 1000ppm, and we still had to load the product into the railcars. I reported it to Cal-OSHA, they investigated for a few months but came back saying that the statute of limitation had been reached and they could not investigate. What is crazy is that I reported it 2 months after I found out that the refinery was pumping that product into railcars. Apparently in Cal-OSHA's investigation, the refinery had been doing this for a while and that is why the statute of limitation had been reached. Pretty fucking cra$$$y if you ask me.

I work in the restaurant industry I am an assistant manager/waiter that works at an establishment in the city of Chicago. I have reason to believe that upper management/the accounting department are cooking their books and embezzling wages and tips from the employees including myself. My coworkers have all come to me with complaints and inconsistencies in their checks, I also have had problems with my own paycheck in the past. What can I do? Is there a way I can flag them and get them audited? I'm sure if the company was audited they would have a lot to answer for. Do I notify the department of labor? Also anonymity is really important to me, I can't be working as a manger and have upper management and ownership knowing I am the one that is responsible for them being investigated. At the same time I cant sit by and do nothing when I know deep down the company is stealing from the hard working people that are making them rich in the first place. My coworkers are also my friends, my second family, as their manager I feel responsible for them and their best interest. I hope this message reaches you somehow and I would really appreciate your input. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Be well.
Currently working with a Franchised Dominos. All of the smoke from oven isn't venting and has the store filled with a sometimes visibly smoky store, generally obvious from senses. Fellow employee called fire department and they came in and kicked us out. One went to hospital from how they were feeling, others who felt seemed to be "okay"($$$). They said it was okay and the ovens were turned on and filled up the store with smoke again. Coworkers talking about coughing, headache, heart issues. Emergency OSHA was contacted and pleaded with. That was 2 days ago and ongoing smoke filled store. Seems I may be fired soon as this "excuse" warrents a "team meeting". This is a store in Colorado. Wild... coworker is pregnant.
I'm considered a radiation worker and as such am supposed to be provided either protection or hazard pay and have not. No lawyer will call me back because I havent been injured (despite 5+ years exposure) who do I contact?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is a safety violation but our two emergency exits lead right into some yards that are fenced up and locked up with only management and loadouts with a key to unlock them and everyone else don’t have the key and I work at a store

Job’s gas detector system had been off over 11 years and is still off. I work in the transportation industry with diesel engines. Mechanics run and test engines side shop with doors closed and there is no way to ventilate building properly.
I saw a co worker stand on a dye and use a hoist to lift himself 10ft up, I’ve seen people ride the walk behind forklift while sitting on the front on it, same people would use the aerosol puncher to shoot aerosol cans at work. People at that job would regularly ingest edibles and run their hundred ton press still.
okay Mr brannigan so to answer your first question I went to OSHA here in Reno Nevada to report how unsafe or new radios were since we had gotten you once and my job. I work as a security guard and I have bad hearing on one of my ears. I complained about this to my manager and he tried to accommodate it but it didn't work out because all of our older radios had been replaced and the signal we were getting with the newer ones was causing many employees' ears to hurt. one day I was not able to hear the instructions given to me over the radio so I was out of my zone where I was supposed to be patrolling. I got in trouble over this and now I'm just waiting for my state agency to put them on notice about resolving this matter through the state agency. more discrimination has happened and I would advise people to go through the EEOC instead of your state's agency just because from my experience the state agency takes forever

\First, the Con Edison has failed to prove that Butler’s non-criminal consumption of a legal substance rose to the level of abuse or that Butler’s consumption of alcohol adversely affected his job performance or the public’s trust (whatever that is). Moreover, the only consequence of off-duty chemical substance abuse is that the employee will be sent for a JFE. Here, Butler was sent for a JFE on December 16, 2014 tested negative for drugs and alcohol. On December 13, 2014, Butler was purported observed by Officer Brito moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat a couple of hundred yards from the DWI checkpoint. Officer Brito did not testify that Butler was driving erratically or displayed other indicia of someone that was driving while impaired. The Union concedes that Officer Brito’s assumption that Butler’s actions were to avoid being identified as either a driver who had been drinking or a driver who might not have had a valid license is reasonable. It is also reasonable for Officer Brito to assume that if he could see Butler then Butler could see him. That assumption is not reasonable. Officer Brito also demonstrated his expertise and training in many facets of alcohol and drug testing but the only verified test result was the breathalyzer results. This is important because clearly Brito had an animus against Butler. Brito testified that Butler was quietly being difficult and when Brito was asked why he issued Butler a summons for refusing to test AFTER he submitted to a breathalyzer test Brito testified that Butler was walking out of the police station with a summons regardless. Butler was issued a summons that was so patently meritless that the Westchester District Attorney’s office did not even submit opposition to Butler’s motion to dismiss. (Union Exhibit “2“) The Union submits that Brito’s testimony is troubling. A police officer charged with upholding the law and who described himself as an expert in the observation of behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol and who is also charged with knowledge of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law issued a summons that (based on his expertise) he had to know was invalid Brito practically admitted that since Butler gave him a hard time and wasted his time that night (because he did not engage in criminal conduct), he was going to give Butler a hard time. That hard time translated into the issuance of an invalid summons that forced Butler to retain counsel and utterly wasted the time of the Court that dismissed the summons that the Westchester County determined unworthy of opposition.
I work for a beverage catering company that has these metal bars that are at least 8 feet tall with roofs. I was told at the end of my shift we had to basically put these huge grill covers over the bars… ( all 4 of them.) from climbing up on the bar with no real ladder. To sticking my head between the bar roofs to pull cover over the bars. If I slipped my head barely fit through the hole. I would’ve basically been hung by my head. Workplace safety is no joke for the people on the ground. But the people in the office never have to do these things…. They think we are being lazy… they couldn’t splurge couple more thousand dollars for a retractible cover for the bar like they do at stadiums… or food trucks. Greed gets to them and they cut corners to save money.
I was walking in an bay that had an airplane for orbital sanding. An employee, who was horseplaying with another person, flung sandpaper with chromium, hit me in the head. I wrote him up because the he not only hit me, but he didn't have a license to drive the scissor lift. The day after the employee, told me that they, the employer, were investigating me for "stealing" from the company when I didn't take anything.
I am a licensed plc controls electrician that specializes in working in factories. I have seen some crazy stuff that is supposedly "grandfathered in" or some other bullcrap justification. I have worked in probably 20 different factories as a contractor. In one of the paper mills I worked in, the pulp in the air was so bad there that it regularly fell from the ceiling and piping in giant, man-sized chunks. This happened multiple times a day. Smaller chunks, about fist sized, dry or wet, fell continuously, like slow-motion, enlarged rain. Several times, the mansized chunks fell within a few feet of me. These chunks probably weighed about 60-80 lbs. The pulp covering a machine caught on fire while I was working on top of it. Somehow, maybe God or luck I don't know, the fire ignited underneath a high powered exhaust fan so that it got sucked up too fast to spread. Another time there, I was going up in a lift to work on my project on the ceiling. It was a constant 200 degrees up at the ceiling where we had to work. When everything is covered in pulp, your vision's ability to comprehend depth perception is severely hampered. We always went up in the lift super slow, so I just lightly brushed this electrical conduit on our way up with the lift guard rail. The metal of the conduit crumbled away, revealing bright, clean, completely bare copper wires. The wires were live, 480VAC, but didn't short out the breaker or fault to ground through us or the lift. This is because the pulp had eaten through the conduit the insulation and replaced it with itself, leaving a clear liquid coating of whatever chemicals are in that stuff. These are just a few of the safety hazards I was exposed to when I worked there. That job only lasted 3 months. A couple of months after I moved on, the place burned completely to the ground in a raging fire that took out part of the forest nearby.
Most of the guys I knew who worked there joked with me that, by default, I was the last one who touched it, therefore I was the one who burned it down. I joked back that the place burned down, but my work stayed up, levitating in the air, that's how good my craftsmanship is. But everyone who worked there knew the truth, that this place was doomed and should have burned down years ago. Those corporate owner assholes risked everyone's lives there for decades because they wouldn't upgrade. And contrary to your general feeling of positivity towards OSHA and the government, there neither the government nor OSHA did anything other than issue minor, slap-on-the-wrist, couple thousand dollar, fines to that company. I'm pretty sure they just looked at those fines like you might look at buying one coffee the entire year. A drop in the compared to the total income.

I know I have a case I just need the best lawyer that knows the law & so far you have the best videos & cover all the topics knowing the system that I’ve seen💯%
@@TRUSTME183 I don't know. To make a proper evaluation any lawyer would need a lot more information. I recommend that you call a lawyer in your state. If you are in CA, then give us a call at 949-667-3025. I'd be happy to evaluate your case.
