Work Safety. No employee shall be subject to disciplinary action by reason of the employee’s failure or refusal to operate or handle any piece of equipment or work in any work situation that the employee believes will place him or a third party in imminent danger of injury. If it is later proven that the employee’s objection was not legitimate, then this paragraph would not prevent the City from taking disciplinary action for the employee’s failure or refusal to perform his duties. It is the obligation of any employee to immediately contact his immediate supervisor, department director, or the City Risk Management division to report any equipment or working condition that appears to be unsafe for authorization to proceed with operations. If it is found that an employee has knowingly failed to meet this obligation, that employee may be subject to disciplinary action.
