Occupational Health And Safety Act And Regulations. During negotiations the Union raised with the Company its concern regarding possible future changes to the Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations. The Parties understand that should changes to the legislation and/or the Ontario Ministry of Labours support for the subject legislation change to render inoperative the current rights of employees with respect to unsafe work, a mechanism will have to be determined to maintain the practical application of these rights. Consequently, upon such time as the Union or the Company has a reasonable concern that such legislation could be passed which so affects the employees right to refuse unsafe work, the Union and the Company shall meet within ten (10) days notice of a written request to meet. The Parties will make a good faith effort to arrive at a fair and workable solution to the problem in a forthright and expeditious manner. It is agreed that any changes to the Regulations would also be reviewed by the Parties in order to assess the impact on employee health and safety. The Parties agree that the Statutory provisions in effect on the date of this agreement with respect to the employee’s right to refuse unsafe work would be considered a minimum standard.
