New Online Whistleblower Complaint Form

By Lloyd B. Chinn
January 31, 2014

In a move designed to ease the filing of whistleblower complaints, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently unveiled a new online whistleblower complaint form. This is significant for employers because whistleblower complaints (and the litigation headaches that accompany them) are now literally only “a few clicks” away. An employee now may initiate a whistleblower complaint by submitting a written complaint, complaining orally (by either visiting or calling an OSHA office) or completing the new online form (and either submitting it electronically or printing it and filing it by mail, fax or hand delivery). OSHA states that it will accept a whistleblower complaint in any language.'
