Right to Refuse

This right can be used when the Right to Know and Right to Participate are not enough to ensure your health and safety. This is a serious step, and you should not use it lightly. 

If you have reason to believe that the work is unsafe or dangerous to either yourself or to others, you can refuse work. The danger should be immediate. You must be at the workplace. And you must be familiar with the hazards(s) involved. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) recommends that you speak to someone on the safety committee, a supervisor, employer, or union before you exercise your right to refuse.
