voluntarily leaving employment  working conditions  dangerous 

Summary:

Quit as a cook alleging that he was forced to do dangerous knife work while socializing with customers. It created a physical danger to his health and safety and was a change in the original job description. Umpire ruled that while there was some danger in using the knives, it was not a danger to health and safety within the meaning of s. 28(4)d) nor was it a significant change in work duties within the meaning of clause i). This was part of the job, he accepted and it was not an unreasonnable job requirement constituting just cause for voluntarily leaving. FCA maintained Umpire's decision.
