Here's how you can effectively report safety violations or hazards as a temporary or contract worker.
As a temporary or contract worker, you have the same rights to a safe work environment as permanent employees. It's crucial to understand that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protects your right to report any unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation. Knowing your rights is the first step in confidently addressing safety concerns. When you're aware of the legal protections in place, you can articulate concerns to your employer or a safety representative, secure in the knowledge that your job security won't be compromised for speaking up.
