Webinar: Refusing unsafe work

Everyone has the right to a safe work environment. In this one-hour webinar, hosted by HEU’s health and safety prevention staff, we will walk you through:

• The four basic health and safety rights of all workers
• The steps to refuse unsafe work
• The steps your employer must go through if they reassign work that has been refused, based on new rules that came into effect in 2022
• Where to find helpful information about unsafe work refusal on the HEU website 

We'll wrap up with a discussion about barriers you might face when exercising your right to refuse unsafe work, and brainstorm ways to overcome them.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation. It will be held on Zoom. Each class is limited to 50 participants.

This is an unpaid one-hour educational webinar, and is not eligible for union paid leave. Computer or electronic device with internet access, audio and video is required.
