In California, to file a complaint about Occupational Health and Safety, workers need to file with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). If workers experience retaliation as a result of engaging in protected activity, workers would then have to file a retaliation complaint with the Labor Commissioner at the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE).

Worksafe's annual report, "Dying at Work in California: The Hidden Stories Behind the Numbers" is released in conjunction with Workers Memorial Day (April 28). The stories and statistics in the report are sobering reminders of the real human consequences of unabated hazards, the prioritizing of profit over safety and health, and the dangers workers face every day. With this report, we bear witness to the lives lost, and look to the future by providing recommendations for improving health and safety in California. 2011 Report 2012 Report 2013 Report 2014 Report 2015 Report
This 2011 report from Worksafe tallies the costs – human, financial, and social – of failures to protect workers’ health and safety on the job. We profile innovative solutions from different sectors. And we offer a range of common-sense recommendations to keep California’s workers healthy and safe, help employers succeed, and support the communities depending on both of them.
