3.14.1 The Health and Safety Committee is mandated to
address matters concerning safe work
conditions and practices, and to maintain a cooperative
effort for the safety of the
workforce. Minutes will record the business of each
meeting, and copies will be
distributed as the committee determines.
At its discretion, the Health and Safety Committee will
make inspections of all job sites.
3.14.2 Employers and CEP will each appoint representatives
to the Health and Safety
Committee. At least one steward will be appointed to the
Health and Safety Committee.
3.14.3
- Employers will make practicable provisions for
the safety and health of their
Employees during the hours of their employment. Such
provisions will be made
known to all Employees at the time of hire.
- CEP undertakes to give full support to these objectives
by promoting safety
consciousness and a personal sense of responsibility among
its membership.
- It is the intent of the Parties to have working
conditions that are safe and healthy.
3.14.4 An Employee who is injured on the job during working
hours and is required to leave for
treatment for such injury will receive the pay he otherwise
would have received for the
remainder of his shift.
3.14.5 An Employee who is injured on the job and who
requires transportation from the work
site to a local physician or hospital will receive such
transportation provided for by the
Employer. Should an Employee require hospitalization for a
period of more than 2 weeks
and where the Employee qualifies for neither WCB
Compensation nor Benefit Plan
Coverage the Employer will provide transportation to an
available facility (within
Canada) near the Employee's home at no cost to the
Employee.
3.14.6 In the event of a serious accident or an incident
which could have resulted in a serious
accident, the Health and Safety Committee will convene as
soon as possible to review the
Employer’s investigation and report to the CEP.
3.14.7 Light Duty Work Programs
- If an Employee is injured on the job and requires
medical attention the Employee
may be entitled to light duty work and will inform the
attending physician of the
same.
- The Employer will inform the physician of the types of
light duty work which
may be available to the Employee and will make the same
available to the
Employee with the physician's approval.
- Employers will inform CEP’s office of all Employees
who are assigned to light
duty work.
3.14.8 Safety Award
- Employers will implement a Safety Award program. Its
terms and conditions and
implementation will be discussed and agreed upon by the
Parties and documented in the Pre-job Report, otherwise:
- Safety Awards will be based on eight (8) week time
periods beginning at
the start of the project. There will be two (2) components
to the safety
awards.
- One component is an individual award and the other a
crew award. Both
awards will be paid on the first pay period following the
completion of the
eight (8) week time periods.
- The crew award will be paid if there was a no lost
time accident or
medical aid involving the Employer’s workforce on the
project during the
eight (8) week time period.
- The individual award will be paid if the individual
had a no lost time
accident or medical aid on the project during the eight (8)
week time
period.
- Both awards are defined in Appendix 3.
- Employees who are terminated for just cause or who quit
prior to the completion
of a specific eight (8) week period are not eligible to
receive the safety award
payment for that period.
