Table of Contents

The course covers the following topics:
1. INTERNAL RESPONSIBILITY SYSTEM (IRS)
The chapter describes the basic principle of the Internal Responsibility System (IRS) in occupational health and safety.
The IRS is based on the belief that workplace hazards can be managed through communication and cooperation between employers and workers.
It acknowledges that both employers and employees have a shared responsibility to identify potential hazards and take measures to prevent injury.
The IRS emphasizes that workplace parties, including employers, workers, supervisors, and safety committees, must work together to identify hazards and develop controls to prevent injury or harm.
By promoting communication and collaboration, the IRS aims to create a safer work environment for everyone.
2. THREE RIGHTS
Learn the three rights of workers in this chapter that are as follows:
• Right to Know
• Right to Participate
• Right to Refuse
3. WHEN CAN YOU REFUSE WORK
In this chapter, learn the conditions on when can you refuse work along with relevant images for better comprehension.
4. WORK REFUSAL PROCEDURE
The chapter describes the process an employee should follow if they believe that a task or work assignment is dangerous to their health and safety. The employee should refuse to perform the job and immediately report the circumstances of their refusal to their manager or supervisor.
The manager or supervisor will then investigate the matter and assign the employee to other duties until the issue is resolved. This process ensures that employees are protected from hazardous work and that their concerns are addressed promptly.
5. WORK REFUSAL PROCESS
Learn the work refusal process which is a set of procedures that an employee can follow if they believe that a task or work assignment is dangerous to their health and safety.
The process typically involves the employee informing their manager or supervisor of their refusal and providing a clear explanation of the safety concerns. The manager or supervisor will then investigate the matter and take any necessary actions to address the safety concerns.
During the investigation, the employee may be assigned to other duties until the issue is resolved. If the safety concerns are found to be legitimate, the employer must take corrective action to ensure that the work can be performed safely. If the employee continues to refuse the work even after the safety concerns have been addressed, the employer may need to take disciplinary action.
The work refusal process is an important aspect of workplace safety and helps to ensure that employees are protected from hazards and dangerous work conditions.
6. DOCUMENTATION
A thorough report needs to be completed to document a Work Refusal.
Summary
Work refusal is when an employee refuses to perform a job or task that they believe is unsafe or hazardous to their health and safety. Employees have the right to refuse work if they have legitimate safety concerns. The work refusal process typically involves the employee informing their manager or supervisor of their refusal, an investigation into the safety concerns, and corrective action taken to address the concerns. Employers should work with employees to ensure that they are provided with the necessary training and equipment to perform their jobs safely, and regular safety inspections should be conducted to address any potential hazards. The work refusal process is an important aspect of workplace safety and helps to ensure that employees are protected from hazardous work conditions.

What you'll learn

If an employee has concerns about the safety of their work environment or the safety of a specific task or activity, they should report their concerns to their supervisor or employer.

The employer has a duty to investigate the employee’s concerns and take action to address any safety hazards.

If the employer is unable or unwilling to resolve the safety issue, the employee has the right to refuse work. The employee should inform their employer of the refusal and the reason for it, and the employer should investigate the issue and take appropriate action to resolve it.

Work refusal is an important right that protects employees from harm and ensures that employers take the necessary steps to create a safe work environment.

However, it is important for employees to use this right responsibly and only refuse work when they have a reasonable belief that the work is unsafe or presents an immediate danger to their health or safety.
