Which action demonstrates compliance with WPS concerning worker safety and retaliation?

• A. Failing to provide training
• B. Intimidating workers who report hazards
• C. Ensuring workers are not fired for complying
• D. Ignoring warnings

Answer: (C)

Under WPS, workers must be protected from retaliation for following safety rules and for reporting hazards. Ensuring that workers are not fired for complying with safety procedures shows the employer is safeguarding those protections and encouraging safe, compliant behavior. This is exactly what WPS aims to achieve: a workplace where following safety rules and speaking up about hazards does not put a worker at risk of punishment.

The other actions undermine safety and protections: not providing training leaves workers unprepared to follow the rules; intimidating workers who report hazards discourages reporting and keeps hazards hidden; ignoring warnings allows unsafe conditions to persist.
