Workplace Safety

You have a legal right to a healthy and safe place of employment, one that is free from hazards that may cause significant injury, illness or death.  

As a public sector employee, your right to a healthy and safe workplace is established through specific language within Wisconsin Statutes §101.055.  The Wisconsin Statutes are public documents that are available to you online through http://wisconsin.gov or through any Wisconsin library.
