Worker Rights & Responsibilities
What are my rights as a worker?
Under occupational health and safety legislation you have three rights:
- The right to know the hazards at work and how to control them
- The right to find and control workplace hazards
- The right to refuse work which you believe is unusually dangerous
What are my responsibilities?
As a worker you have rights, but you also have responsibilities to work and act safely on the job. Under the legislation you are expected to:
- Cooperate with your employer, supervisor, occupational health committee, or occupational health and safety representative
- Know and follow company health and safety policies, practices and procedures
- Use safety equipment properly and as required by the employer
- Report accidents, occupational illnesses, and near misses
- Report health and safety hazards and concerns
- Refrain from causing, encouraging or participating in harassment
- Conduct yourself in a safe and responsible manner
