You should file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory bodies and carefully document your concerns. You should also reach out to your company’s management, outlining the safety risks posed by the outdated equipment, and offer suggestions as to how it can be replaced or updated in a responsible manner. 
If you believe that your employer isn’t responding in a timely fashion or adequately addressing the issue, consider making an anonymous report through reporting systems such as OSHA’s Report A Hazard tool. Additionally, some states have occupational safety Hotlines where you can provide anonymous tips or complaints about unsafe conditions at worksites without fear of reprisal. Ultimately, speaking up for safety requires an appropriate balance between informing authorities while taking responsibility for protecting your company's reputation.

You can remain anonymous by using a whistleblower hotline. This allows you to file a report without mentioning your name or other personal details. You could also speak with an anonymous third party, such as a non-profit organization or news outlet, and provide them with the relevant information.
