South Carolina Code of Regulations
Chapter 71 - DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, LICENSING AND REGULATION-DIVISION OF LABOR
Article 1 - OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS
Subarticle 10 - DISCRIMINATION AGAINST EMPLOYEES EXERCISING RIGHTS UNDER THE SOUTH CAROLINA OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT
Section 71-1011 - Testimony

Discharge of, or discrimination against, any employee because the employee has "testified, or is about to testify" in proceedings under or relating to the Act is also prohibited by Section 41-15-510. This protection would, of course, not be limited to testimony in proceedings instituted or caused to be instituted by the employee, but would extend to any statements given in the course of judicial, quasi-judicial, and administrative proceedings, including inspections, investigations, and administrative rule making or adjudicative functions. If the employee is giving or is about to give testimony in any proceeding under or relating to the Act, he would be protected against discrimination resulting from such testimony.
