Summary:
The misconduct is the failure of the claimant to subscribe to certain safety measures required by the employer as part of the Workplace Safety Policy on this Province. The claimant was advised he would be dismissed if he continued to fail to comply. The claimant was told to wear earplugs he did not wish to wear due to moving vehicles on the jobsite. The claimant was aware of his expectations to conform to the policy, since he was on the Joint Health and Safety Committee. The claimant was aware of the progressive discipline procedure, had received a direct verbal warning and should have known that repeated refusals would be cause for dismissal.
