  • Filing or making a complaint under the Act of an alleged danger or safety or health violation
  • Instituting, testifying or assisting in any proceeding conducted under the Act
  • Being a subject of medical evaluations leading to a possible transfer to another job location
  • Being withdrawn from the mine for not having the mandatory safety and health training
