Would you risk termination by refusing to operate unsafe equipment?

[QUOTE="RoyalFlush, post: 723468, member: 27311"] I don't think anyone is, or should be expected, to operate equipment that is truly unsafe. Unfortunately we have people that sometimes use the "unsafe" card as leverage to create unnecessary conflict. I personally believe that we should apply the same cost/risk at work as we would with our own vehicles. If I had a tail light out or a something minor wrong on my own car, I certainly would not pull over to the side of the road and call a mechanic or a tow truck if it was going to cost me a few hundred dollars and cause me to be delayed. I would proceed cautiously and get it fixed when its convenient and cost effective. Brakes, steering, and things that truly are unsafe are a different story. [/QUOTE]
