Discussion Topic #1 – OSHA Complaint
An employee comes to your office and says he wants to anonymously make a complaint to the US Occupational Safety and Health Act. He doesn’t want his identity known to his supervisor, who told a group of employees that he would make life difficult for anyone who complained about working conditions.
Write a professional memo as a member of the HR team to the HR Manager “Morgan” providing the following guidance:
1. Review and summarize the basic employee right to file a complaint with OSHA.
2. Address the concern whether the employee has a right to file an anonymous OSHA complaint.
3. As an HR professional, address how your boss, the HR Manager Morgan should handle the complaint about the supervisor’s actions. Be specific.
Use a minimum of two HR/legal references to support your conclusions. You must substantively respond to colleagues.

Discussion Topic #2 — Safety in the Workplace
Situation – Your company believes that “Safety” at work means more than the traditional meaning regarding physical hazards. Discuss in a short memorandum directed to employees from the perspective of the HR Manager, how your organization uses OSHA and the laws and regulations to look beyond just the physical concerns of the employee and to include other aspects of safety in the workplace. Consider including how the organization is dealing with the current Coronavirus pandemic.
Use a minimum of two HR/legal references to support your conclusions. You must substantively respond to colleagues.
