Hi All,
This post is fairly unrelated to all the previous ones. It just occurred to me that in all the hundreds of emails, policies, newsletters, announcements, web pages etc. over the past few months, I don't recall any mention of the legislation around the right of refusing unsafe work.
Just for purposes of providing people with information (I am on study leave until Sept 2021 so I have no personal gripe about anything), I thought I would just share some of the relevant legislative context around the general right to refuse unsafe work, in case some feel that with the various return to work protocols being developed, they are being asked to assume too much risk:
• Workers’ Compensation Act, Part 2, Division 4, Sections 21 - 30
• Workers’ Compensation Act, Part 2, Division 6, Sections 47 - 50
• Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, Part 3.12 and 3.13
Best,
