4) As a worker you have basic rights:
 * **the right to know** about workplace hazards and how to deal with them
 * **the right to participate** in health and safety activities in the workplace
 * **the right to refuse** work that the worker believes is unusually dangerous

5) Practice... we are going to go over certain situations and practice how to talk to our employer to make sure we don't sound like we are a complainer or just some one who is negative (we have a lot of those people in the workplace, it is your job to rise above it)
