Work Place Safety: Worker's Rights
- 1. WORK PLACE SAFETY MINUTE By Hailey Macleod
- 2. Intro: When in a job, individuals need to consider their rights and the employers work related rights, and workplace safety
- 3. Young People At Work We need to take all of what I stated in the intro into consideration because we have a higher risk to injury on the job since we lack experience but are so eager to please and are sometimes to afraid to speak out or ask questions.
- 4. As Workers We Have 3 Rights 1.Right to Know 2.Right to Speak up 3.Right to Refuse
- 5. Right To Know Employers have the responsibility to tell an individual of the hazards on the work site, and are suppose to give all the safety procedures and make sure us, young workers, understand and know everything about the work place.
- 6. Right To Speak Up We have the right to speak up if we are uncertain or unsure of how to do something in the works place. We need to understand that safety truly is first and that means questions are totally acceptable and encouraged when uncertainty of a job or the safeness of a job is questionable. As well, speak up if we feel like we need more training before a job.
- 7. Right to Refuse If work is unsafe or an individual is not properly trained, we have to right to refuse the particular job being told of us to do, without being penalized. This ties up with the other two rights; We need to recognize/know unsafe situations and speak up; ask questions and not be afraid to refuse a job if we are not comfortable, because we can’t be penalized for it.
- 8. Young Workers Responsibilities But we do have responsibilities too. We must follow safety procedures that were outlined to us and ask for training if needed before a job. We need to bring and wear working equipment if need and need to recognize and indentify hazards. We need to think, because safety starts with us.
- 9. Summary We need to remember our rights and responsibilities when working on the job and not be afraid of looking dumb when asking questions. Safety is the most important thing, and it just needs for us to use common sense and ask questions so we can safely gain experience. Just need to remember our rights, and hopefully we can lower young workers injury numbers.
