You can report worksite conditions that threaten the health or safety of workers.

Your report should include the employer's name and the exact street address for the worksite.

Complaints about worker safety in the public sector (State and local government agencies) are handled by the Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH). 

PESH does not handle reports about worker safety in federal agencies. Those reports are handled by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). 

Complaints must be submitted by mail or by fax to your local PESH district office.

The complaint form and instructions are available online. You can also get more information and request an application by phone.
