Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation across Canada grants workers three fundamental rights: the right to know about workplace hazards, the right to participate in health and safety decisions, and the right to refuse unsafe work. Requesting a risk assessment (A), reporting concerns to OHS representatives (C), and refusing dangerous tasks (D) are all exercises of these protected rights. Reporting the situation to the media is not a protected right under OHS law. The proper procedure involves internal reporting, followed by reporting to the designated government OHS agency if the issue is not resolved.

A. This action falls under the "right to know" about workplace hazards and the measures in place to mitigate them.

C. This action falls under the "right to participate" in workplace health and safety by raising concerns through proper channels.

D. This is a direct exercise of the fundamental "right to refuse" work that the employee has reasonable grounds to believe is dangerous.
