Whatever your industry or position, you have rights
Here are some important points about your rights.
- You have the right to refuse any unsafe work.
- You have the right to know about what can hurt you.
- You have the right to take part in your own safety.
It’s against the law for your boss to fire or punish you for refusing or reporting unsafe work conditions. And every employer is required by law to be thinking about your safety, and talking to you about it.
