The work process in question shall not be carried out until such time as the matter has been finally determined or an agreed interim arrangement has been directed by the person in command. (2) To this end, the parties agree on the following procedures - (a) In the event of such a situation becoming apparent to an employee, the employee shall discuss that situation with the immediate supervisor. (b) If the matter is not resolved, the parties shall jointly obtain the relevant technical and safety advice in an attempt to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of all concerned. At this stage, there will be the involvement of the relevant elected health and safety representative or, in the absence of such elected health and safety representative, the union representative. (c) If agreement is not reached, the matter shall be determined by the location person in command in consultation with the parties and the relevant elected health and safety representative or, in the absence of such elected health and safety representative, the union representative. (3) When it is necessary in the opinion of the person in command for work to be done to rectify a dangerous situation, including interim arrangements, the Company and the unions will co- operate to ensure maximum safety to all employees concerned with such work.
