Legal & Compliance Alerts: 1M Penalties for Terminating Workers Involved in OSHA Investigations and for Retaliation

Audit termination practices today and lock in a non-retaliation policy that protects the workplace and prevents terminating employees without documented business reasons. If an employee is involved in an OSHA investigation, terminating them without proper cause can trigger federal penalties; implement a formal review that requires HR and legal sign-off before any action. Keep an investigation file separate from other personnel records and document the rationale to defend against a filed claim.

Penalties can reach up to 1M when aggregated with back wages, legal costs, and injunctive relief; federal nforces retaliatory actions vigorously, and OSHA enforces the standard. Their report also highlights risks across industry; ensure your policies cover employees who participate in investigations, former employees, and drivers who report concerns. The key is to monitor every action in the workplace to prevent retaliation and to document the decision trail clearly.

Action steps: codify a strict non-retaliation policy, ensure termination decisions are based on documented performance or business need only, and require HR/legal sign-off. Build an agile workflow that moves from investigation to resolution while preserving privacy and minimizing waste of resources. Maintain separate logs for investigations and terminations, and never file a termination action on emotions; if a worker filed a safety concern, protect them. Use a secure portal for employees to report concerns and keep the website updated with policy language; ensure wages and health benefits are maintained during leave, where applicable.

Practical checks: verify registered HR records, ensure companys procedures align with OSHA guidelines, and confirm that policies apply to all workers including former employees; document communications with employees and managers; when a claim is filed, pull the report and respond within half the standard window. Maintain health and safety at the core and avoid actions that might appear to be retaliation, and align with associated compliance requirements. источник is referenced as источник and что in audit notes for clarity.
