Under paragraphs (a) and (c) of 29 CFR § 1903.11 (‘‘Complaints by employees’’) workers and their representatives may notify the OSHA area director or an OSHA compliance officer of safety and health hazards regulated by the Agency that they believe exist in their workplaces at any time. These provisions state further that this notification must be in writing and ‘‘shall set forth with reasonable particularity the grounds for the notice, and shall be signed by the employee or representative of the employee.’’ In addition to providing specific hazard information to the Agency, paragraph (a) permits workers/worker representatives to request an inspection of the workplace. Paragraph (c) also addresses situations in which workers/ worker representatives may provide the information directly to the OSHA compliance officer during an inspection. An employer’s former workers may also submit complaints to the Agency. To address the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (c), especially the requirement that the information be in writing, the Agency developed the OSHA–7 Form; this form standardized and simplified the hazard reporting process. For paragraph (a), they may complete an OSHA–7 Form obtained from the Agency’s Web site and then send it to OSHA online, or deliver a hardcopy of the form to the OSHA area office by mail or facsimile, or by hand. They may also write a letter containing the information and hand deliver it to the area office, or send it by mail or facsimile. In addition, they may provide the information orally to the OSHA area office or another party (e.g., a Federal safety and health committee for Federal workers), in which case the area office or other party completes the hardcopy version of the form. For the typical situation addressed by paragraph (c), a worker/worker representative informs an OSHA compliance officer orally of the alleged hazard during an inspection, and the compliance officer then completes the hardcopy version of the OSHA–7 Form; occasionally, the worker/worker representative provides the compliance officer with the information on the hardcopy version of the OSHA–7 Form. The information in the hardcopy version of the OSHA–7 Form includes information about the employer and alleged hazards, including: the E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM 13JAN1
