Dealing with Management, Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining

Workers are to be in a safe environment, protected from hazards of the job if any. Where necessary, workers will be provided safety equipment as appropriate to the work being performed. Workers are to be provided with ready access to clean toilet facilities, potable water and sanitary food preparation, storage and eating facilities. Procedures and systems are to be in place to manage, track and report occupational injury and illness.
