employees. Employees must meet safety standards and follow all rules and
use safety equipment. Employers must give employees safety training clearly
and in a language they understand. Different jobs call for different
regulations, a list of all OSHA standards can be found on their website.

you are entitled to the following; Make complaints surrounding your safety
without consequence, training on workplace safety, use only safe machinery,

law for an employer to fire a worker due to a complaint made against them to
