Safety at work is a shared responsibility between the employer and the employee. The Occupational Health and Safety Act entitles all employees in Nova Scotia to three basic rights: 

1) The right to know about health and safety matters.

2) The right to participate in decisions that could affect their health and safety.

3) The right to refuse work that could affect their health and safety and that of others.

Your safety is very important. Please learn more through any of the following sources:
