I’m in accounting, our team doubles as admin for a hazardous material research facility. I was made aware one of the deliveries I was making was biohazards and requires further training to handle and deliver. I’d been doing this task for months.
I told mgmt the task felt unsafe now with the knowledge I don’t know what I’m doing with hazardous material, my training is accounting. I refused to handle the material until further training is provided.
Someone has questioned why the process has changed now, since it’s been going on for months. Am I being sensitive, because once I say I feel unsafe and ask for more training, anything else feels like harassment. Thoughts? TIA
