It is illegal for your employer to fire you because you reported a safety violation to OSHA. The issue, of course, is whether you are able to prove that this was why you were fired.
OSHA retaliation claims have a very short statute of limitations. To ensure that you do not run out of time, you should contact an employment law attorney immediately or file a complaint on your own. You can call our offices at 1-800-WAGES-10 for a free consultation regarding this issue.
