Unsafe Equipment. The Employer will not instruct an employee to operate any equipment which anyone in the exercise of ordinary care would reasonably know that such operation might cause injury to the employee or anyone else. An employee shall not be subject to disciplinary action by reason of his/her failure or refusal to operate or handle any such unsafe piece of equipment. In the event that a disagreement arises between the employee and his/her supervisor concerning the question of whether or not a particular piece of equipment is unsafe, the appropriate management designee shall be notified and the equipment shall not be operated until that designee has inspected said equipment and deemed it safe for operation. Any question concerning the propriety of directives may be resolved in the grievance procedure.
