You are required to refuse work that you believe is likely to harm you or someone else.

• Report any health and safety issues to your supervisor or employer
• They must immediately investigate and fix the problem or inform you if they don’t think that there is a problem
• If you still believe there is a problem, continue to refuse work. The Supervisor is required to continue to investigate with you and another worker (from the H&S Committee, the union or a person of your choice).
• If there is no resolution continue to refuse the work. Both you and the employer must contact WorkSafeBC for further investigation

You cannot be fired for refusing unsafe work.
