No so much case law,
A previous company - we perused disciplinary action based on section 7
of the Health and Safety at Work Act - where an employee refused to wear
appropriate gloves.
"7 General duties of employees at work.E+W+S+N.I.It shall be the duty of
every employee while at work-
(a)to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of
other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work; and
(b)as regards any duty or requirement imposed on his employer or any
other person by or under any of the relevant statutory provisions, to
co-operate with him so far as is necessary to enable that duty or
requirement to be performed or complied with."
