CWA 1104/GSEU/ContractIndex/Article 10: Health and Safety
From CGEU
10.1 The provisions of this Article set forth the employer's intent regarding health and safety in the workplace. These provisions do not provide any specific rights or benefits reviewable in any forum.
10.2 The State remains committed to providing and maintaining safe working conditions, and to initiating and maintaining operating practices that will safeguard employees, in an effort to eliminate the potential of on-the-job-injury/illness and resulting Workers' Compensation claims.
10.3 Where campus-wide committees exist to discuss matters of workplace health and safety, the Executive Vice President of GSEU may appoint one representative to serve on each campus health and safety committee. Where such committees do not exist, the campus shall designate an individual with whom GSEU may meet to discuss campus safety and health issues pertaining to employees in this bargaining unit.
10.4 In recognition that safety is a workplace issue which transcends negotiating units, the parties agree to foster a safety coalition involving all employee groups in the State to address common safety concerns.
