Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

Any agreement with the employer to opt out must be in writing. It must be entirely voluntary, and workers cannot be forced to opt out. If they do opt out, the employer must keep records of these workers. Workers can opt back in at any time by giving notice of not less than seven days and not more than three months, depending on what their contract says.
