In this installment of the Safety Perspectives From the Dallas Region podcast series, Frank Davis (shareholder, Dallas) and John Surma (shareholder, Houston) discuss OSHA’s Whistleblower Protection Program through which OSHA enforces the whistleblower provisions of 25 federal statutes, including the OSH Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Surface Transportation Assistance Act. John and Frank discuss the investigation process, standards of liability, burdens of proof, and settlement agreements. They also provide practical pointers on documentation and various methods of communication with OSHA.
