If your employer retaliates against you for refusing to perform the dangerous work, contact OSHA immediately. Remain at the worksite until ordered to leave by your employer.Tell your employer that you won't perform the work unless and until the hazard is corrected and.
Ask your employer to correct the hazard, or to assign other work.There isn't enough time, due to the urgency of the hazard, to get it corrected through regular enforcement channels, such as requesting an OSHA inspection.A reasonable person would agree that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and.You refused to work in "good faith." This means that you must genuinely believe that an imminent danger exists and.Where possible, you have asked the employer to eliminate the danger, and the employer failed to do so and.Your right to refuse to do a task is protected if all of the following conditions are met: (OSHA cannot enforce union contracts that give employees the right to refuse to work.) If the condition clearly presents a risk of death or serious physical harm, there is not sufficient time for OSHA to inspect, and, where possible, you have brought the condition to the attention of your employer, you may have a legal right to refuse to work in a situation in which you would be exposed to the hazard. However, you should not leave the worksite merely because you have filed a complaint.
You may file a complaint with OSHA concerning a hazardous working condition at any time. If you believe working conditions are unsafe or unhealthful, we recommend that you bring the conditions to your employer's attention, if possible.
