OSHA Standards and Workplace Hazards

Cooperative Efforts to Reduce Hazards

  • OSHA encourages employers and employees to work together to reduce hazards.

  • Employees are encouraged and should discuss safety and health problems with the employer, other workers, and union representatives.  

  • OSHA provides special recognition through its Voluntary Protection Programs (VPPs) to worksites where employers and employees work together to achieve safety and health excellence.

  • If a hazard is not being corrected, an employee should contact the OSHA area office (or state program office) having jurisdiction.
