Every worker has a role in workplace safety, and knowing your rights is an important part of staying safe. This quarter’s Health & Safety Bulletin explores the three fundamental worker rights in Canada: the Right to Know about workplace hazards, the Right to Participate in keeping the workplace healthy and safe, and the Right to Refuse Unsafe Work. Through practical workplace scenarios, near-miss reporting tips, myth-busting and summer heat reminders, the bulletin helps workers understand when to ask questions, speak up and take action to protect themselves and those around them.
