[QUOTE="lolbr, post: 4005014, member: 68664"] As I stated, you can, but they likely won't act on the report, except maybe sending a copy of it to UPS. You don't have to alert the company you are going to report to OSHA, but you need to alert the company of the problem. It's up to OSHA to determine what they want to do. Do they want to make a physical inspection? Likely not for a one off issue where the employee didn't even bother to notify the employer and there were no serious injuries. Otherwise, they can opt to just forward the report. When filing a report you have to be honest: "Potential complainants also should keep in mind that it is unlawful to make any false statement, representation, or certification in any complaint." One of the questions is: "12. This condition has been brought to the attention of: (Choose all that apply)" TLDR: Notify a full time UPS supervisor. If it doesn't get fixed/keeps reoccurring, then notify OSHA. If it still doesn't get fixed, notify OSHA again. [/QUOTE]
