As has been mentioned, there is a degree of health and safety measures that seem to need to be followed. Not being afforded those measures is the only reason I can see for refusing the assignment. On the flip side, had they a task that involved him doing something completely soft and cushy would he have refused it due to it not being in his job description?
I hate job descriptions personally. Were I to go into work tomorrow and assigned to mop the shitters, I suppose I would do it. I certainly wouldn't enjoy it, but I doubt I would refuse it simply because it is not in line with my normal daily tasks.
