The right of workers to seek safety and health on the job without fear of punishment is spelled out in ______ of the OSH Act.

• A. Section 11 (c)
• B. Section 7
• C. Section 3
• D. Section 20

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that workers are protected from retaliation when they exercise their safety and health rights under the OSH Act. This protection is provided by a specific provision that prohibits discrimination against employees for requesting an OSHA inspection, reporting hazards, or participating in an investigation. That anti-retaliation clause is what ensures workers can seek safer jobs without fear of punishment, and OSHA can step in if retaliation occurs. Other sections of the Act cover different topics, like general duties of employers and employees or the penalties for violations, but they don’t establish the retaliation protections in the same direct way.
