Anyone can report to OSHA what they believe to be a violation of OSHA requirements, but only an employee can file a formal complaint with OSHA alleging that the employer has violated OSHA requirements. Complaints from non-employees are likely to receive less intense attention, unless they come from clearly knowledgeable healtha and safety professionals or relate to extremely hazardous situations.

Not an attorney, but as I understand the law, with the exception of a very few people that have "Privileged Communications", such as your attorney, a religious confessor, etc, anyone CAN file a complaint with OSHA regarding workplace safety, whether they are an employee of the business or not.


Is the Industrial Safety laws enforced in the workplace and by whom?

OSHA laws are enforced at the work place but they are not always enforced by OSHA directly. Often times the OSHA regulations are enforced through a state level agency; furthermore, their enforcement depends on the presence of conscientious employees and not just the employer. Usually, OSHA regulations can only be randomly enforced, so if there is an issue at a workplace it is often best that the employee report any problems to OSHA, and they will handle it from there, without giving out your information.
