Common use of Safety Concerns Clause in Contracts

Safety Concerns. Where an unsafe condition is alleged to exist, the affected employee shall first notify his/her immediate supervisor who shall take whatever necessary corrective action the supervisor deems appropriate. Employees are encouraged to bring forth their safety concerns and are not subject to adverse actions for doing so. Where the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the employee, the matter will be submitted to the University’s Safety Officer for review. The Safety Officer will advise the employee of the results of his investigation and any corrective action taken or proposed to be taken within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the employee’s concern or explain why additional time is needed. Nothing in this Article requires the Employer to take any specific corrective actions proposed by an employee. However, corrective actions shall be implemented in accordance with the judgment of the University.
