SAFETY OR HEALTH HAZARD COMPLAINTS

There are two ways to file an employee complaint if you believe your working conditions are unsafe or unhealthful.   You can file a complaint online OR you can download the MIOSHA Complaint Form, complete and sign the form, then mail or fax it to MIOSHA.   Be sure to include your name, address, and telephone number so we can contact you if necessary.  If you wish to have your name remain confidential, please indicate that in the box on the complaint form.

Note:

§         Most  online complaints  are likely to be addressed by MIOSHA's phone/fax system.   That means these complaints are likely to be resolved informally by letter or over the phone with your employer.

§         Written complaints that include an employee signature , are more likely to result in onsite MIOSHA inspections .

You may also telephone MIOSHA at 1-800-866-4674.   MIOSHA staff can discuss your complaint and respond to any questions you may have.   If there is an emergency or the hazard is immediately life threatening, call MIOSHA at 1-800-866-4674.

      DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS

File a  discrimination complaint  if your employer has discriminated against you for exercising any employee rights established under the MIOSHA Act or for refusing to work when faced with an imminent danger situation which could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious physical harm immediately or before the danger can be eliminated through enforecement procedures.   You may file a discrimination complaint by letter or by calling MIOSHA Employee Discrimination Section within 30 days of the date of occurrence at (313) 456-3109.
