Usually it is more a matter of failure to comply with regulations issued under the Occupational Health and Safety Law, and not a breaking of the law itself.

It may turn out that you misunderstood what was being done. If that does not produce a reasonable response, you should contact the regulatory agency responsible for enforcing the relegation's. In the US this is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or a state agency with similar function. In the UK, it is the Health and Safety Executive. Employees generally have a right to file complaints with the regulatory agency.

In Canada it is the provincial Ministry of Labor, or of Health, depending on the Province. In the UK it is the Health and Safety Executive. Other countries have different names for the appropriate agency.
