Legal Protection for Whistleblowers?
In 1971, the federal government formed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to protect workers from dangerous working environments. As part of its official duties, OSHA formally created the Office of Whistleblower Protection (OWP). The role of OWP is to investigate claims of retaliation made by employees who reported illegal activity, an unsafe working environment or other wrongdoing by their employer. As its name implies, a whistleblower is one who makes a report to OSHA or OWP implicating their employer of unethical business practices.The Occupational and Safety Health ActAs part of the Occupational and Safety Health Act created by OSHA, employees who make a report on their employer are granted legal protection from being fired, demoted, transferred or disciplined for doing so. The guarantee of legal protection has made it possible for many employees to come forward over the years and report illegal business practices by their employers. As a direct result of these reports, the government has been able to stop Ponzi schemes, investor fraud and other corporate wrongdoing.Classifications of Whistleblower ProtectionFederal legislation that protects whistleblowers divides potential reports by employees into two different classifications. The first type is internal dangers, which refers to threats to employees while performing the duties of their job. This covers working conditions, human resources practices, illegal business practices by upper management and other violations of this nature.External threats under whistleblower protection laws refer to dangers to the general public. This could apply to companies that disregard environmental laws, manufacturers of prescription drugs, makers of automobiles and so forth. The illegal actions of company management or other employees must have a direct result on the health and well-being of their customers.After whistleblower laws had been in effect for several years, OSHA created separate classifications for airlines, nuclear power plants, consumer products and railroads because these industries can cause severe health threats to the public if established protocol is not followed.Resources for Employees Who Have Faced RetaliationUnder the mandates of the whistleblower laws, employers are prevented from taking any negative action against an employee who reported a violation in good faith. If any employee feels retaliation has occurred, he or she has 30 days to file a complaint and request OSHA to investigate.
