  If OSHA determines that an employer’s response to a non-formal complaint is adequate, what options does the employee filing the non-formal complaint have? Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
  Selected Answer:After a complaint is filed and OSHA determines the employer’s response to the accusations are adequate, the employee that filed the non-formal complaint has a couple of options. The employee can dispute the employer’s response by filing a written signed complaint making it formal (OSHA,2015). After OSHA receives the formal complaint then the employee can expect an inspection to be conducted of the facility if OSHA still determines there are potential hazards present.Reference:Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
