File a complaint with ____.

File a complaint with ____.

• A. EPA
• B. NIOSH
• C. OSHA
• D. CDC

Answer: (C)

When you have a complaint about unsafe or unhealthy working conditions, you file with OSHA because this agency enforces the safety standards that protect workers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. OSHA investigates employee concerns, hazardous conditions, improper practices, and retaliation for raising safety issues, and it can require corrective actions and inspections. The EPA handles environmental protection, not workplace safety complaints; NIOSH conducts research and guidance but does not process complaints; and the CDC focuses on public health surveillance and disease control, also not handling individual workplace safety complaints. State programs may handle OSHA-related enforcement where authorized, but OSHA is the primary body for these concerns.
