During 2003 Local Negotiations, the Company and the Union acknowledged the need for a trained and certified Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure the health and safety of the employees at Woodhaven Stamping Plant.

The ERT Steering Committee will continue to meet for the purpose of developing local guidelines for the administration and function of Woodhaven Stamping Plant's ERT.

In addition to ERT UAW team leaders, Committee Members will consist of Company and Union representatives, to be designated, by each party.

The Committee will consider such items as, but not limited to:

·         ERT membership criteria

·         number of ERT members required per shift

·         local emergency action policy and procedures (including annual evacuation drills)

·         training requirements

·         certification requirements

·         recognition system
