Yes, I understand all that, and I've heard that a few times, so I get that bit. But I'm still struggling with how changing the definition of danger and then applying it only to severe and imminent danger can make workers safe. Using an example, I worked as a teacher, and schools were found to have quite a bit of asbestos, and sometimes that asbestos was exposed. Under these rules, could an employee refuse to work if she believes asbestos is present and could threaten her health?
