Sec. 708.6  What constitutes ``a reasonable fear of serious injury?''

    Participation in an activity, policy, or practice may cause an 
employee to have a reasonable fear of serious injury that justifies a 
refusal to participate if:
    (a) A reasonable person, under the circumstances that confronted the 
employee, would conclude there is a substantial risk of a serious 
accident, injury, or impairment of health or safety resulting from 
participation in the activity, policy, or practice; or
    (b) An employee, because of the nature of his or her employment 
responsibilities, does not have the training or skills needed to 
participate safely in the activity or practice.
