You and your workmates are entitled to work in environments where the risks to your health and safety are properly controlled. This section provides information on your rights and protection when at work.
The law provides you and your workmates with a number of rights and you have the right to stop working if you believe it is unhealthy or unsafe.
It’s against the law for a person or business to discriminate or take other negative steps against you because you've spoken up about workplace health and safety.
