Safety Watch
Submit a Safety Watch tip
Read this first. Submitting here does not file a complaint with OSHA and does not preserve any legal deadline. To request an inspection or report retaliation, contact OSHA directly: 1-800-321-OSHA (6742), osha.gov/workers/file-complaint, or whistleblowers.gov. Retaliation complaints under Section 11(c) generally must be filed within 30 days; other laws have different deadlines. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 and OSHA now.
This is not an anonymous or secure-drop system. We do not promise anonymity. A website form can leave identifying records, such as your device, network and the time of submission, and email is not private. We store a one-way hash of your network address only to limit abuse. We do not currently offer a secure-drop service. If you need strong anonymity, do not use this form.
How tips are handled
- Tips go to a separate, confidential queue. They are not read by sales, marketing, membership, Foundation or general-purpose AI tools.
- Only structured fields (such as whether it is urgent) are sorted automatically. The free-text description is read by a person.
- A tip is a lead, not a fact. Nothing is published from a tip alone. A person verifies it against records and gives any company named a chance to respond.
- We do not use tip information for marketing, and we do not sell or share it for advertising.
- If a legal process requires us to disclose information we hold, we cannot promise to resist it. A person reviews each tip at 90 days, and it is then deleted unless there is a documented reason to keep it. See the privacy notice.
