$22.$ Worker$$s compensation is all about providing benefits for workers after an accident has occurred. Do workers have the right to refuse working in hazardous conditions? $($check out the book$$s chapter on OSHA to help you suss this out$).$

a$.$ Absolutely! The worker can refuse working in hazardous conditions, but they can also be fired and that$$s the end of the story. Employment at will and all that.

b$.$ Of course not. OSHA checks hazardous conditions and workplace safety through compliance and inspection checks. Workplaces are notoriously safe.

c$.$ Yes, the worker can refuse. In that situation, the company has a legal obligation to investigate the worker$$s issue.

d$.$ Yes, the worker can refuse to work in hazardous conditions. This is a right under OSH Act Section $11($c$)$ but there are limits to this protection.

e$.$ The worker should make sure his life insurance is paid up and go for it$.$
