Work place safety law! i want my work place to go down and i need HELP! ? So im 17 and i work in a warehouse. Since working there i have been treated unfairly. I got Carpal Tunnel from working there. They used to make me and my cousin stay until past 12 and not provide us with a ride home which i hear is breaking some sort of rules. Anyway the thing that got to me was not that i was given more work than everyone else because i was not a certain race, but the fact that after i told the supervisor i needed light work for two weeks he told me to take two weeks off. So many people have gotten hurt at work, or outside of work and our management has taken care of them. One guy hurt his leg out side of work and they gave him lighter work for a month or so. Another women sits in a chair and she does not even have to get up. I was only asking for two weeks, and i didnt get it i feel like i was treated unfairly. I talked to my teachers about it and apparently you cant tell someone not to come into work because of illness without paying them on their leave. what would help is a list of rules i can go through to see what my work place broke. A website anything! oh yeah im in Canada so im sure rules may differ to places in the US. i didnt literally mean go down. i just wanted attention to be brought to me question. So keep your smart as* remarks to yourself. Thanks.

By law does your work place have to have security cameras? Someone got into my car the other day at work. I am wondering who it is? Is it a patient, stalker, or someone just needing money. We have no security cameras and I am concerned for my safety. I work for a hospital, but not at the main campus, the outpatient part. By law do you have to have security cameras up? We have approximately 30-40 people working in the building if that matters?
How do i go about getting health and safety officials to come to my place of work? There are a few health and safety issues the company i work for are refusing to get sorted out. These issues are continuously making the staff ill, including myself. So i have decided to try and contact health and safety officials in hope that they will come to my place of work and force head office to get the issues seen to. The only thing is, i have absolutely no idea how i go about contacting them. I've been on the governments website but do not have a clue what to look for. Can anyone help me? And steer me in the right direction of someone i could speak to?

My husband has been enduring a very hostile work place brought on by the reporting of safety violations ...? and sexual harassment. Since his reporting of both to his manager and to his manager's boss his hours have been dropped to below full time, and has been told if he wants his hours he has to work on Sunday which is against our beliefs. He has had to endure being the brunt of jokes in regards to the harassment and has been told by upper management to just "handle this in-house". My husband's witnesses have been intimidated by the accused (the general manager) by saying that if they defend the right person, their jobs are safe. Right before they were to be interrogated by the upper management. Please help us and tell me if we have a case against his employee, we cannot afford for him to lose this job as he is the only one with the job and we have 4 kids.

Random drug testing in schools just like the work place? Keeping drugs out of schools and keeping kids straight could mean less druggies at the work place as these kids get older. I have a right to work without worrying if the people I work with are going to flip out on dope, shouldn't students have the same rights and safety precautions? How about drug sniffing dogs in the hallways??? I would like to add that random drug testing is done in most work places that I know of, which is great because it makes a much safer work place. I don't think that is becoming too much like a police state. I do have a right to work in a safe environment, should our kids also have a right to a drug free place to learn?

And when other staff are off sick I'm ok ro do it? Wat legal rights so I have orwat can I do? I'm now 28 weeks.

Should poor people be banned from public buildings and the work place? Since medical cost for the poor is the number one drain on the taxpayer and too much exposure to "second hand poor" can result in being robbed at gunpoint, shouldn't we limit the public's exposure to them in the interest of public safety? Please substitute the words "smokers" and "smoke" in place of the word "poor" in appropriate places in both the question and answers.Substitute the word "cancer" in place of the phrase "robbed at gunpoint". Be careful with your use of the buzz phrase "life choice", remember many people believe obesity is a lifechoice.Now re-read the answers below and vote for the best.Is it alright to pass repressive laws and policies when they only affect a minority?

What makes France socialist and America capitalist? I don't see any clear cut lines between first world countries. They all have both capitalist and socialist principles at work. America for example has public education for the masses, state owned and controlled universities, student grants, subsidized loans, job training, GI Bills, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, temporary food stamps, public housing, public transportation, state run military, 40 hour work weeks, overtime pay, minimum wage, work place safety laws, workman's compensation, environmental regulation, laws against corporate fraud, force banks to insure with the federal government, manipulate interest rates to control inflation, etc, etc, etc. France, on the other hand, has a stock market, private property, corporations, and spoiled brats. David, True, but America is more socialized then most third world countries. In plenty of them, education is only offered up to 8th grade. After that, people are on their own. My parents came from such a country.
Health and safety at work: bleach being used to clean cups...? Can anyone give me some advice which type of regulations are breached by my employer, when he allows the cleaning personnel to use bleach to clean cups and the inside of the microwave? I am aware that bleach is classified as a corrosive substance in the COSHH regulations, however I am not working with the substance, it is only used in my work place. I have adressed this issue to the office manager twice, he in turn has spoken to the cleaners, as have I; to no avail. So I guess so me kind of legal procedure would be appropriate at this stage, like an inspection or something like that. Any useful advice on what the next step should be? ( I should add that my college is suffering from digestive problems and she suspects the b leach in the microwave might be the cause. thanks a lot Unfortunately the microwave is not allowed to air which results in fumes rising in the morning and the bleach is used not just to remove stains, but instead of a washing up liquid on large quantities of cups ( my floor has about 50 of staff), so concerns rise about residue from not rinsing. I have addressed the issue to my office manager who is also the health and safety representative, my line manager knows a bout i guess (I haven't made formal complaint though). p.s.I am prevented by my contract to join a union. p.s.2 i live in the uk
How do i make a legal case against my work place in the UK? I will expalin...? Recently i hurt my back while lifting a box at work. I then told my boss (via text message) the next day (i was off on this day) i will not be able to work the following day as i have been hurt. He replied with a text saying i need to orginise with the people at work to cover my shift as it was his day off. My position is Team leader, but i am not a manager and i imagined my boss (the department head) would take some responsibilty seeing as i was hurt. So effectively he 'passed the buck' onto me to try and find cover. I called the other team leader (my Brother) and explained the situation. He ask all the other Team leaders (2 others, one was not able to come in on that day and the otherc contract only requires him to work monday to friday, so he would not) So in the end i came to work on that day, after what i feel is a form of emotional blackmail, as my boss was abusing my repsonsibilties of making sure the work was done. I came in on the next day as well but left after about 3 hours as i was lying on the floor at some points not able to stand. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed that i had torn the ligaments or sprained the muscles in my spine, and subsequently gave me a 1 week sick note and strong medication. i have been off since, however i got word today that my boss will not be paying me for the time i am sick. I thought if it is an injury at work then they are obliged to do so. I am not sure. and plus this sunday he has not organised cover again for my shift so he is doing the same thing and coercing me to come to work when i have a sick note stating i am off until the monday. On top of this the place breaks numerous health and safety rules, and i even had my boss threaten my job with a text message once (about 2 weeks ago) because i did something that the store manager told me to do. Of course that has nothing to do with this incident but it maybe can further demonstrate how unprofessional he is. Do i have any grounds for a legal case or am i in the wrong??? On a side note, i did fill in an accident report form the day after the incident, and prior to the whole thing i was suppossed to recieved health and safety training, but delivery was big and needed to be processed and so i asked my boss if i should go for the training on that day and he said "Forget it". Exact words. Thanks for feed back so far, both positive and negative. Dont worry. I am fully aware that most will not have legal knowledge here but i am trying to build a solid argument before i take any action as to not incur any legal charges if i was one of those peopel that try and find a problem and simply use the system to my own ends. I also dont want to be fired due to any actions i may take. Also why i am asking here first. Perhaps there are people who have had similar experiances and can guide me in the right direction. Not sure exactly what my contract states about sick pay, i will need to check. The only snag i can see is that i have a 20 hour contract but i am doing 45 hours at the moment. and i was told once i am on the rota that is legal contract then.

Is L'Equipeur the only place to get safety boots in Montreal? I have been looking for quality safety boots (CSA approved) in town and I don't like the selection at my nearest L'Equipeur store. I know that there are loads of manufacturers that offer boots with lots of features but L'Equipeur mainly carries the Dakota line. I need 8" boots and I would prefer a composite toe to steel. Also their prices are not very good. So who else sells safety boots? thanks
What safety control practices are in place for medical workers when drawing blood? I have been freaking out about stds lately so I went to a STD clinic to get tested. While the nurse was drawing my blood, I was wondering what controls are in place for drawing blood. Is the needle used to draw the blood used only once so that it won't be contaminated with infected blood when used on the next person? This might be a silly, stupid question but I kind of obsess over such things. If there are any medical workers who can enlighten me on this, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.
What do you do to keep Johor a safety place? Example : don't go out late at night Ya.. not only Johor but other places as well. I think parents and school teachers should alert the students of the environment right now. Police should take action fast. Everyone should pray to God Yah, pray lah!
