SAFE Manitoba - Rights and Responsibilities
Safety is not a luxury or an added bonus; it's a legal right.
When it comes to workplace safety, workers, supervisors and employers all play different roles and have different responsibilities. But everyone has rights that they should be aware of, because those rights can be the different between taking a risk and taking a proper stance on unsafe practices.
Everyone working in Manitoba has:
- THE RIGHT TO KNOW about what hazards there are in the workplace and what precautions must be taken to avoid injuries from those hazards
- THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE in safety and health activities in the workplace, without fear of discriminatory actions such as discipline.
- THE RIGHT TO REFUSE work that one can reasonably believes to be dangerous to oneself, or to others.
