What should I do if my employer does not comply with safety regulations?

In Oregon, maritime injury law exists to protect the safety and health of workers employed in maritime occupations. If your employer does not comply with safety regulations, there are several steps you can take. First, you should contact the Office of the Chief of Safety of the US Coast Guard in Oregon. They are responsible for ensuring compliance with maritime safety regulations in the state. You can call or write to them to report any violations of safety regulations. Second, you can contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). They are a federal agency that enforces workplace safety standards. You can file a complaint with them and they will investigate the matter. Third, you can also contact your union if you are a part of one. Unions are responsible for protecting the rights of their members and they can work with the Coast Guard or OSHA to take action against an employer who is not complying with safety regulations. Finally, it is important that you document any instances of noncompliance. Keep track of any safety violations you observe or experience and record details like the date, time, and the nature of the violation. This can help you build a stronger case if you decide to pursue legal action. The safety of workers is an important issue, and employers should be held accountable for not complying with safety regulations. If you have experienced an employer not complying with safety regulations in Oregon, you have several legal options available to you.
