Whenever any Board shall have been informed or shall have other cause to believe that any work location or part thereof is unsafe or unhealthy, it shall investigate the same and shall, as soon as may be practicable thereafter, take such steps as it deems necessary and appropriate to correct any unsafe or unhealthy condition that it determines actually to exist. At the request of the Chapter President, the Board shall provide annual asbestosis tests, at no cost to any member of the bargaining unit, to those members of the bargaining unit who, while in the employ of the Board, have worked in buildings or other facilities where asbestos is or has been present. Members of the bargaining unit shall be provided information concerning test results promptly upon receipt of the information by the University. Grievances involving the interpretation or application of the provisions of this Section may be processed through Step 2 of the Grievance Procedure contained in Article XI but shall not be processed to Step 3 or Step 4 thereof.
