Employees have the right – and the responsibility – to identify and report improper governmental activities and environment, health and safety concerns and to do so without fear of reprisal. Employees are encouraged to discuss concerns with their immediate supervisor, any level of management, or their human resources representative. In cases where employees or others are unable or do not wish to raise issues to management, including retaliation, alternative mechanisms for reporting are available. In all cases, employees have the right to a respectful, prompt and effective response to their concerns.

To learn more about the Laboratory polices for reporting and investigating allegations and protection from retaliation, go to (RPM Sections 2.05 J and 2.05 K)
