How can I notify OSHA?

Question

Does anyone know if I notify OSHA regarding some irregularities at work and if OSHA shows up at work, would OSHA tell the company who reported the irregularities?

If some ones knows some information, please tell me!!!

Thank you!!

You must give OSHA your name, but on the form you can request that the name not be revealed.  You need to give them as much info as possible, not just "they are doing it wrong".  The problem comes when OSHA knows things when they investigate that only you could have told them, it can be easy for your employer to figure it out.  Try to only give details that more people than you might know about (at least at first).  Make sure you don't make things up, guess, or embellish anything.  You can also call your OSHA regional office to discuss the situation anonymously (third reference).
