Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quinn may be entitled to protection from discharge under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), which requires employers to provide a safe workplace free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious physical harm. By refusing a transfer to a department where several employees suffered serious injuries from exposure to hazardous chemicals, Quinn may be trying to protect himself from such hazards and, therefore, may be entitled to protection under OSHA. The other options, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the state workers' compensation act, do not specifically address workplace safety issues.
