Agency Description/Mission: UOSH's commitment to workers is to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths. UOSH believes the best way to accomplish this goal is through strong, effective safety and health programs that effectively involve employees. One of the most important rights workers have is the right to file a complaint with UOSH about hazardous working conditions. We encourage all workers to inform their supervisor or employer about hazards. Often, corrective action will be taken promptly. If the hazard remains, workers can contact their union or notify UOSH.
