A worker can refuse a task because they believe that it poses a threat to their own health or safety or that of a coworker. The employer’s response and further actions are critical to whether the organization will end up facing legal complications. Get help and avoid legal conflicts that waste time and money.
When a worker exercises his right to refuse, you must fully know what it entails before you act. This way, you will avoid costly legal troubles. Santinel helps you navigate this situation by offering support and mediation services. We are here for you when it comes to interactions with CNESST inspectors, workers, and safety representatives.

Right to Refuse Management Strategies

According to article 12 of AOHS, “A worker has the right to refuse to perform particular work if he has reasonable grounds to believe that the performance of that work will expose him to a danger to his health, safety or physical well-being, or will expose another person to a similar danger.”
As any employer, you must fulfill multiple safety obligations and responsibilities which may appear complex. Santinel helps you clarify things and make sure that you respect the law and protect your employees.
Contact us to learn more about right to refuse management, intervention procedures, law-compliant forms, etc. Get help and ensure that your managers are well equipped to address this sensitive point of occupational health and safety regulations.
Simulations & Real-Life Situations

Simulations are by far the best way to teach your managers how to respond to right to refuse situations. We can help your supervisors practise their reactions, evaluate their own managing style, and assess the impact of their decisions.
Real-life situation exercises allow them to develop appropriate reflexes and answer their questions.
For instance, when should they contact a CNESST inspector in order to solve a conflict? Or when can work resume in order to minimize production losses?
Our simulation exercises are always adapted to your organization and teach you your roles and responsibilities, procedures that apply to right to refuse situations, specific provisions, related documentation, etc.
