The Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (PERRP) requires Wright State to inform employees of their rights and responsibilities.
All Ohio public employees have the right to:
- A safe workplace.
- Raise a safety or health concern with your employer or the Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (PERRP), or report a work-related injury or illness, without fear of retaliation.
- File a complaint with PERRP about any safety or health concerns you may have about your workplace. You may have a representative file a complaint with PERRP on your behalf.
- Receive information and training about job hazards, including all hazardous substances in your workplace.
- Refuse a work assignment if you believe it presents an imminent (life-threatening) danger to you or your co-workers. You may have a representative contact PERRP on your behalf.
- Participate (or have your representative participate) in a PERRP inspection and speak in private to the compliance officer.
- File a union grievance or file a complaint with the State Personnel Board of Review within 60 days (by phone, online or by mail) if you have suffered retaliation for using your rights.
- See any citations PERRP issues to your employer.
- Request copies of your medical records, tests that measure hazards in the workplace, and the workplace injury and illness log.
All Ohio public employers must:
- Provide employees a workplace free from recognized hazards. It is illegal to retaliate against employees for using any of their rights under the law, including raising a health and safety concern with you or with PERRP, or reporting a work-related injury or illness.
- Comply with all adopted PERRP standards.
- Report to PERRP all work-related fatalities within eight hours, and all incidents resulting in a hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye within 24 hours.
- Provide required training to workers in a manner they can understand.
- Prominently display this poster in the workplace.
- Post PERRP citations at or near the place of the alleged violations.
- Maintain, post, and submit injury and illness statistics to PERRP.
