An employer has posted a list of rights employees have under OSHA. The list has two items: the right to know about hazardous materials in the workplace and the right to report violations of OSHA standards without fear of punishment by the employer.

Which of the following rights should also be on the list?

a. the right to accompany OSHA compliance officers during an inspection of the workplace

b. the right to refuse to work in an unsafe environment

c. the right to know when an inspection by compliance officers is being planned

d. the right to a company-sponsored safety and health program

The following rights should also be on the list:

b. the right to refuse to work in an unsafe environment

Explanation:

OSHA is known as Occupational Safety and Health Administration which is a U. S government agency working under the Department of Labor. The main purpose of this agency is to ensure the safety of labor at work. The option b is correct as the right to refuse to work in an unsafe environment should be clearly mentioned so that there may be not ambiguity in the minds of labor regrading this. The option a is not correct in the given situation as it is not necessary to list this rule on the list because the inspectors will accompany during the inspection. The option c is not correct as it is not the concern of the employees. The option d is not correct as it is not necessary to write it on list because it is not linked with OSHA.
