Penalties may be further reduced through informal settlement conferences between the employer and the OSHA Area Director.

How do OSHA complaint inspections work?

OSHA complaint inspections are initiated when a current employee, former employee, or their representative files a formal complaint about workplace hazards.

The agency may conduct an on-site inspection or, for less serious complaints, contact the employer by phone or letter to request corrective action. Workers who file complaints are protected from retaliation under the OSH Act.
