Every worker deserves a safe place to earn a living.

​At Sipio Law P.C., we represent employees who have been subjected to unsafe, hazardous, or unlawful workplace conditions that violate the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). If your employer has failed to provide a safe working environment, ignored safety complaints, or retaliated against you for reporting violations, you may have legal recourse.

​

What Is OSHA?

​

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing workplace safety laws. Under OSHA, employers are legally required to maintain a workplace free from recognized hazards that could cause serious injury or death.

​

Common OSHA Violations

​

We routinely investigate and handle cases involving:

​

• Failure to provide proper safety equipment (PPE)

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals or materials

• Lack of training or safety procedures

• Dangerous machinery or equipment malfunctions

• Fall hazards, unsafe scaffolding or ladders

• Blocked emergency exits or inaccessible fire extinguishers

• Excessive heat exposure or poor ventilation

• Workplace violence or threats not adequately addressed

Your Right to Report—and Be Protected

​

You have the right to file an OSHA complaint if you believe your working conditions are unsafe or unhealthy. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for exercising this right. Retaliation can include termination, demotion, reduction in hours, reassignment, or other adverse treatment. If you've been punished or fired for reporting safety issues, you may be entitled to damages including, but not limited to, reinstatement and back pay.
