Occupational Safety & Health Administration

People are so mean and unkind. OSHA should be abolished along with all other safety precautions.

Without warning the water to my workplace was interrupted. The bathrooms, eyewash stations and safety showers became non-functional, immediately turning my lab into a hazardous work environment. Whomever works the phones was completely unconcerned with the safety of me and my coworkers.

I nearly died from legionnaires disease. Fewer than 5% of people that come in contact with the bacteria actually contract this disease.(according to OSHA), yet they asked us repeatedly if anyone else got sick. I was one of 11 employees present which makes me nearly 10%. We requested water sampling, the morning after diagnosis, as we have 3 doctors connecting cause and relation. There was an industrial accident at my job just days prior, emitting thick vision impairing vapor due to a compressor malfunction. OSHA did nothing and closed any investigation based on an independent air quality report, 2 weeks after diagnosis, that clearly recommends sampling if an employee has been diagnosed with legionnaires disease. This put many lives at risk as this gave time for cover up, which we can prove, as hot steam was blowing in workers faces as the employer vigorously heated up the system to rid the bacteria, before i could receive a sample. Employer denied access to building and denied sampling. I made OSHA aware of other severe violation that exists today that could kill somebody, over 2 months ago. Still employers are at risk, and no action taking. This agency did not protect this worker by any means, only participated in the spoliation of evidence in our opinion. Very dissatisfied and still looking for answers 16 months later and repeatedly lied to!!!!
