SAFETY PRACTICES. Article 6.01 Both the Employer and the Brotherhood hereby declare their intent to conduct a safe operation. Working practices shall be governed by the regulations of the province of British Columbia insofar as they apply and are supplemented by the Safety Practices Regulations as issued by B.C. Hydro and Power Authority and the Joint Safety Rules and Regulations defined herein as issued and amended from time to time. To ensure application to safety matters of the broadest possible experience and to provide for full co- operation, there shall be a Joint Safety Rules and Regulations Committee composed of an equal number of representatives of the Employer and of the Local Union. Two of these representatives shall act as Chairman, and Secretary alternating yearly between the Employer and the Local Union representatives. The Chairman shall be entitled to vote on all questions before the Committee. A majority decision of the Committee shall be binding on both Parties to this Agreement. When the Committee fails to obtain a majority decision on any question referred to it, the question shall be resolved through the grievance procedure set out in Article 4, with arbitration if required. The Joint Safety Rules and Regulations Committee shall review and recommend upon all re-issues and revisions of the rules and regulations and shall have the opportunity to comment upon proposed standards prior to their becoming effective. The Committee shall meet at the request of either Party. Should any question arise relating to the minimum safe staffing requirements the matter will be referred to the Joint Safety Rules and Regulations Committee for determination. Where any tradesman deems it unsafe for him to undertake work alone, or where safety regulations require additional help, it shall be his duty to notify his headquarters or, if this should be impossible, summon such help as is required. If any question arises as to the judgement used, the matter shall be referred to the Joint Safety Rules and Regulations Committee for determination. The Employer undertakes to maintain a thorough system of training and familiarization such that no employee will be required to perform work which he cannot safely perform and safety rules and safe working conditions shall be strictly adhered to at all times. A copy of the Joint Safety Rules and Regulations Committee minutes shall be posted on the notice boards and a copy forwarded to the Union/Company within five (5) working days following the meeting. Notwithstanding Article 5.03, employees who fail to observe safety regulations may be suspended and after written warnings, will be subject to dismissal. Copies of written warnings given to employees will be forwarded to the Local Union.
