Whistleblower protections for offshore oil and gas workers.
The Offshore Oil and Gas Worker Whistleblower Protection Act provides protections for workers in the offshore oil and gas industry who report violations or unsafe conditions. Employers are prohibited from discharging or discriminating against employees who report violations of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, refuse to participate in illegal activities, or report illnesses, injuries, or unsafe conditions. Employees can file complaints with the Secretary of Labor, who will investigate and issue orders for relief if violations are found.
