If it means clearing your friend I would do it. Plus your manager sounds like he's in it for the money and could careless about what happens to people. Tell OSHA about what happened and then tell them that your manager is threatening you if you do tell. I would also play it safe and get a lawyer (you and your friend who was burned).
