True or False: Workers in Ontario can refuse work that they believe places them in imminent danger after informing a supervisor.

In Ontario, workers have specific rights regarding work refusal in situations where they believe they are in imminent danger. The correct response indicates that workers can refuse work they believe poses an immediate threat to their health and safety.

In such circumstances, the process typically requires the worker to notify their supervisor of the situation. If the supervisor cannot resolve the danger or if the worker still feels unsafe, the worker is allowed to refuse the work. This gives workers a vital right to protect themselves and ensures that their concerns are taken seriously within a structured method for handling safety issues.

The answer indicating false suggests a misunderstanding of workers' rights. Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act expressly provides employees the right to refuse unsafe work, which supports the correct understanding that it is indeed a true statement that workers can refuse work under those conditions. The emphasis on informing a supervisor is a necessary step to ensure that safety protocols are followed, but it does not negate the right to refuse work based on perceived danger.
