Each year, on April 28, we observe Workers\u2019 Memorial Day. On this day, the labor movement remembers workers killed or injured on the job and vows to continue the fight for strong safety and health protections in the workplace. Without workers standing together and fighting for our safety, we would not enjoy the protections from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and our union contract.<\/p>\n
This Workers\u2019 Memorial Day, we are calling on our members to take part in collective action to make sure our workplaces are clean, safe, and healthy! On April 28, fill out and\u00a0file a\u00a0PS Form 1767 \u2013 Report of Hazard, Unsafe Condition or Practice<\/i>. Whether something small like sticky floors, or a persistent problem such as a toxic workplace, stand up with your co-workers to shine a light on the hazards in your workplace. If we don\u2019t look out for each other, no one else will.<\/p>\n
How a PS Form 1767 Works:<\/p>\n
The immediate supervisor must promptly (within the tour of duty): Investigate the alleged condition; Initiate immediate corrective action; Record actions or recommendations on the PS Form 1767; Forward the original PS Form 1767 and one copy to the next appropriate level of management (approving official); Give the employee a copy signed by the supervisor as a receipt; Immediately forward the third copy to the facility safety coordinator. If the hazard is not fixed within 7 days, you can file a grievance to ensure action is taken.<\/p>\n
