Whistleblower Protection Program: OSHA to host public meeting
Washington — OSHA has scheduled a public meeting for May 19 to gather input on how it can improve its Whistleblower Protection Program.
According to a notice published in the April 8 Federal Register, the meeting will take place at 1 p.m. Eastern via telephone.
OSHA enforces whistleblower protections under 23 statutes. The agency is particularly interested in input regarding:
- How it can deliver better customer service.
- The kind of assistance it can provide to help explain the whistleblower laws it enforces.
- What the agency can do to ensure workers are protected from retaliation for raising concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Please note that the agency does not have the authority to change the statutory language and requirements of the laws it enforces,” OSHA states.
