Occupational Health and Safety Act provides workers with the right to refuse unsafe work. If a worker do not feels comfortable while doing some work or he/she have any problems doing the work than they have the right to refuse the work. In that case, they should inform their immediate boss about the situation that may cause danger to their health and safety.
It's the duty of supervisor to take action about the situation reported to him/her by the worker and the worker's responsibility is to stay at a safer place near the workstation. The supervisor should also call the inspector to examine the situation and investigate the refusal of work. After that, the inspector shall give his/her decision in writing to all the parties involved.
