Refusing to Perform Unsafe Act Sample Clauses

Refusing to Perform Unsafe Act. The Company does not want an employee to work in any situation which is unsafe or hazardous. Where an employee is able to demonstrate, on reasonable grounds, that a condition of imminent hazard exists at a work location, the employee shall not be subject to discipline by reason of refusing to work at that place. In the event this situation arises, the employee will first immediately notify his immediate Supervisor. The employee concerned may request the assistance of a Union safety representative. No employee will be required to perform work that he has reasonable grounds to believe constitutes imminent danger to himself or others nor will he be disciplined for such refusal. An employee who is unsure of the safety of any action should, prior to commuting such action, discuss his concerns with his Supervisor and, if necessary, his Xxxxxxx or safety representative. Any disagreement thereafter with respect to the safety of any act should be referred to the General Manager. If an employee refuses to perform his assigned duties without sufficient grounds, he may be subject to discipline. At the time of the refusal, the employee must specify the unsafe working conditions which formed basis for his refusal to work.
