Supervisor disagreed with safety concerns and made clear employee required to undertake work as directed but wouldn't provide schematics
A workshop employee initiated a conversation with his supervisor, claiming the employer's instructions for him to perform modifications on a vehicle were unsafe and contrary to vehicle safety requirements.
He sought additional information and wanted to know from the employer what they required him to do was safe, but the supervisor disagreed and sought to inform him that the employer was complying with all its obligations and requirements.
The employee was not prepared to perform the work until the employer provided him with vehicle schematics and assurances that the modifications were safe. The conversation became heated and loud with multiple managers involved, lasting approximately 30 to 40 minutes in the car park while other employees should have been at work.
