Question: My employer does not qualify as an essential business and is staying open in violation of an order that all non-essential businesses should be closed. Can I file an OSHA complaint?

Answer:

If you believe that your health and safety are in danger, you (or your representative) have the right to file a confidential safety and health complaint with OSHA.

In general, state or local governments issue orders that nonessential businesses remain closed (and when they may reopen) during the COVID-19 pandemic. You should contact your state Attorney General's office or health department if you are concerned that your employer is violating a state or local order.
