ALL employers are required by law to post certain posters that explains wage, safety rights and how to report violations.

You're either stupid, a teenager, or just looking for attention.

Id go out and buy some myself and ask the boss for some money for them. Not so much worried about regular tasks that's up to you how tight you want to be on that but what happens if someone PowerShits around the bowl or bleeds out somewhere? I'd refuse to be cleaning that without gloves which means either calling in a biological clean up group (call in cleaner contractors WILL NOT do that here, it's a far higher rate.) or closing the area.

Call his boss. I would probably submit something in writing at the same time.

My dad had picked up a 2nd (or 3rd, I don't remember) job driving trash trucks. He was doing a walk around inspection of the truck, reported it needed brake repair. Bosses told him to drive the truck, so he quit on the spot and reported them to KYDOT.

If you can afford to buy the gloves, buy them and seek reimbursement. If you can't, fuck them, it's a second job.

In my opinion, I would say fuck them and quit on the spot.

Just quit. You really want to work for a place that has that kinda attitude.

That's actually going to vary depending on the state you're in. OSHA is not in charge of everything everywhere.

I'm pretty sure OSHA has federal authority over job sites. I could be wrong.

The law is actually very complicated that way. It's one of the "interstate commerce clause" abuses by the feds. For example, OSHA only has any authority over commercial construction sites, not residential. OSHA only has authority over the workplaces of interstate corporations. The complications are all about dancing around the fact that the federal government does NOT wield authority over businesses or workplaces within a state, except by some application of the interstate commerce clause, and so they have developed a whole system of excuses to give them authority where the constitution explicitly denies it. This is why we have federal drug laws and federal laws regard age of consent, etc... An ongoing federal power grab. Look it up. The power to regulate workplaces was not explicitly granted to the federal government, and so, by constitutional law, it is relegated to the various states. OSHA and MSHA have the power they have by by claiming that mines and multistate corporations are intrinsically tied to interstate commerce.

Actually, pretty much every state has workplace regulations like you mentioned, anyway.
