Employee Protection
There is some protection for employees who report the health hazard. If an employee requests it, NIOSH can refuse to give the employer the name of the employees who report the health hazard. Additionally, due to the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, employers may not punish employees for reporting the health hazard.

Famous quotes containing the word protection:
“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the laws’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
