Unsafe Conditions. In accordance with 29 CFR § 1977, occasions might arise when an employee is confronted with a choice between not performing assigned tasks or subjecting himself/herself to serious injury or death arising from a hazardous condition at the workplace. If the employee, with no reasonable alternative, refuses in good faith to expose himself/herself to the dangerous condition, he/she would be protected against subsequent discrimination. The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger by resorting to regular statutory enforcement channels. In addition, in such circumstances, the employee, where possible, must also have sought from his Employer, and been unable to obtain, a correction of the dangerous condition.
Unsafe Conditions. When an employee has a reasonable basis to believe that the performance of an assigned task will subject him/her to serious injury or death, s/he may choose not to perform the task provided s/he has exercised all reasonable options, including consulting with his/her supervisor, when possible, and there is no reasonable alternative or solution to prevent risk of serious injury or death. In such cases, Management shall not interpret the actions of the employee as neglecting his/her duties and no retaliation of any kind, including disciplinary action, shall apply against the employee. In all cases, the employee shall report any unsafe or dangerous conditions to a supervisor immediately after confronting a dangerous or unsafe working condition.

D. there is no time to remedy the problem through other means outlined in this Agreement, or agency policies.
