Add Comment Question: My wife is a self employed Dental Hygienist who has recently been exposed to a toxic or poisoned work environment as the Dentist she has worked for is going to retire and is transitioning the practice to a new dentist who has made the environment toxic. As a self employed person does she have any legal rights (no lunch time scheduled, no time to go to the bathroom) Answer: under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, every employer is required to maintain a harassment free workplace. I suggest you contact the Ministry of Labour and report the violation. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
