It is worth its weight in gold, if for no other reason than to find a link to all 18 statutes that OSHA currently is responsible for:
Section 11(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. §660The statutes are up to date through the health care bill, but don't yet include those included in the Financial Reform Act which will not be signed into law until tomorrow. For a preview of those, which I am sure will be joining the list soon, see my earlier post, Financial Reform Passes - Major Whistleblowing Changes as Well.
Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA), 49 U.S.C. §31105

And for two final tidbits, before the next OSHA investigation into a whistleblower complaint, you might want to look over the 190 page Whistleblower Investigations Manual and when you get ready to settle check out OSHA's policy for Approval of Settlements with Future Empoyment Waivers. Spoiler alert, it's on a case by case basis and they look at five factors.
