Your employer is responsible for your safety at work. CPSU members are never alone when it comes to health and safety at work.

Workers have the responsibility, right and duty to health and safety at work. If you feel the work you are doing is unsafe, it is your duty to take reasonable steps to care for your health and safety and to raise issues.
