A program of inspection and maintenance of heaters is in effect and will be continued to assure that they are in good operating condition by September 15 of each year.

Following the conclusion of 1993 Local Negotiations a review of warning lights suitable for providing employee warning in this area shall be made. An appropriate device will be secured and installation shall be made as soon as practicable.

GENERAL

The main plant, including all aisles and basement will be maintained in accordance with clean and safe housekeeping practices.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Part of the supervisor’s daily housekeeping responsibilities are to insure that hoses (air, water, electrical and hydraulic, etc.) are maintained in such a manner as to preclude tripping hazards and to promote good housekeeping principles. In keeping with this plant policy and the discussions during 1979 Local Negotiations, a program will be developed to eliminate tripping hazards. A joint survey will be conduct­ed by the Senior Safety Engineer and the Union Health and Safety Representative to identify locations in which hoses and wires present tripping hazards. The results of the survey will be forwarded to the Plant Engineering Department. Plant Engineering will conduct the program and effect the necessary modifications to correct these problems. It is the Company’s intent that plant forces be utilized to perform the work required.

In addition, emphasis will be placed on the installation of hooks, brackets, etc., on new installations and in conjunction with plant rearrangements to reduce the potential of this problem recurring. To insure compliance with these objectives, the Senior Safety Engineer will audit the production areas and progress on the program will be communicated to the Health and Safety Representative.
