Which action is a worker right under OSHA?

• A. Request an inspection
• B. Take extended vacation without approval
• C. Receive a pay raise for hazard reporting
• D. Work overtime without consent

Answer: (A)

OSHA empowers workers to act when they see hazards, including the right to request an inspection. If you believe there are unsafe conditions, you can file a complaint with OSHA, and they will typically investigate and may conduct an on-site inspection to ensure compliance. This process is designed to protect you and others on the job, and you’re safeguarded from retaliation for reporting hazards.

The other actions aren’t rights under OSHA: taking extended vacation without approval isn’t about safety protections; a pay raise for hazard reporting isn’t guaranteed by OSHA; and working overtime without consent isn’t a worker right addressed by OSHA, which focuses on safe working conditions rather than scheduling or compensation.
