Dangerous Conditions. An employee may refuse in good faith to perform an assignment or job which he/she has reasonable grounds to believe poses an immediate and serious threat to his/her health and safety beyond the inherent hazards of the assignment. If the Board concludes that the employee's objections to performing the work as consistent with the preceding standard, the employee will be re-assigned to other work. If the Board concludes that the employee's objections are not valid and the employee continues to refuse to perform the assignment, the employee will be sent home without pay, for the balance of the shift, and the dispute will be settled through expedited arbitration.
