keep it simple

Report it to OSHA Occupational Safety and Health addm.
They will tell you what all laws are for the workplace |

Report it to the immediate supervisor immediately, so that no employee is in danger. If no action, call OSHA and they well kick tail if the hazard is not eliminated. |

As the two previous posters wrote immediately report to OSHA. The problem I have with you reporting this situation to your managers/supervisor is they may view you as being a trouble maker and find the lamest of excuses to terminate your employment. At least if you file a complaint with OSHA and they terminate you, you will have legal recourse on the grounds of retaliation and whistleblowing laws. Trust me the company will lose. |

You need to let your immediate manager kow about it. Depending upon what it is he/she could take different steps to resolve it. |

Report it immediately to your supervisor. Follow up in writing as soon as possible. |
