Demeaning treatment? It is not illegal. Learn to live with it, resolve it informally with HR or mgmt, or find a new job.
Actual criminal or OSHA type safety violations should be reported, and the law protects reporters from retaliation. What that means is when he gets fired he would have a lawsuit.
