OSHA has issued recommended practices for anti-retaliation programs to help employers create workplaces in which workers feel comfortable voicing their concerns without fear of retaliation.
OSHA outlines five key elements of an effective anti-retaliation program:
- Management leadership, commitment, and accountability
- System for listening to and resolving employees’ safety and compliance concerns
- System for receiving and responding to reports of retaliation
- Anti-retaliation training for employees and managers
- Program oversight
“These recommended practices will provide companies with the tools to create a robust anti-retaliation program,” said Jordan Barab, acting assistant secretary of labor for OSHA. “In the long run, it’s good for workers and good for business.”
