25. Was There A Reasonable Concern Regarding Health or Safety?

A claimant who leaves work due to reasonable concerns regarding unsafe working conditions or inadequate lighting, heat, ventilation or sanitation can have good cause for quitting. See SRH §§ 1214(A) (faulty or unsafe equipment), 1224(B) (inadequate working conditions), and 1224(C) (risk of injury or danger to health). For example, a claimant leaves work for good cause when working conditions expose him/her to a risk of injury or danger to health beyond the normal hazards of the job. However, the claimant should attempt to resolve the hazardous condition or faulty equipment by making a complaint to the employer prior to leaving work. Id.
