10 GCA § 87125: Employees not to be Compelled to Work in Unsafe Conditions.

After citation of an unsafe working condition by the Division, no employee may be compelled or in any way coerced to work in an unsafe working condition. Anyone who compels or coerces an employee to do so shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, in addition, shall be held personally liable for actual and punitive damages should an employee suffer injury as a result of said unsafe working condition. Civil actions may be brought against such person without reference to the Government Claims Act. No disciplinary action may be brought against an employee who either refuses to work in an unsafe working condition after citation of same by the Division, or who reports an unsafe working condition to either the Safety Officer or the Division. Refusal to work in an unsafe working condition after citation of same by the Division, or reporting of an unsafe working condition, shall not be considered in evaluating job performance or be considered as a factor in the promotion or demotion or adverse action of said employee.
