OSHA Whistleblower

Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

OSHA administers 23 whistleblower statutes. The agency has an online complaint that gathers information about adverse actions, potential reasons for adverse actions, dates of adverse actions, and establishment identifying information including location, and contact information. All is included in a database and supplemented by complaint information that is collected by other means, and data that is collected during investigations. The additional data gathered from the public includes greater depth on allegations, type of complaint, and in some cases -- appeals. The Privacy Act controls much of what is released to the public, and the agency also follows a system of records notice, which leads to the aggregation of data on docketed cases and complaint determinations by statute, which are released to the public.
