Prohibition against discrimination.

(1) The WISH Act prohibits employers from discriminating against an employee for reporting a work-related fatality, injury or illness. It also protects the employee who files a safety and health complaint, or asks for access to chapter 296-27 WAC records, or otherwise exercises any rights afforded under this act.
(2) DOSH may not issue an injury and illness recordkeeping variance to a private sector employer. However, DOSH must recognize all recordkeeping variances issued by federal OSHA.
(3) DOSH may only grant an injury and illness recording and reporting variance to a state or local government employer within the state after obtaining approval to grant the variance from federal OSHA.
