Webinar: Navigating the Updated Refusal of Unsafe Work Process
Course Description
In August 2022, new requirements came into effect in the refusal of unsafe work section of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. These changes now require written notification to replacement workers during a refusal of unsafe work. In this 45-minute webinar, we will discuss the changes as well as strategies and tools that employers in public education can use to navigate the new requirements.
