Safety Reporting. Each employee shall be responsible for inspecting the equipment, vehicle and job site to which the employee is assigned, and to report any deficiencies discovered to appropriate management personnel. An employee who finds the equipment, vehicle or job site to which the employee is assigned to be in an unsafe or inoperable condition, posing threat of immediate and serious physical injury, shall report such finding to the immediate supervisor. Upon being so notified, the supervisor or his designee shall inspect the condition and determine if it is safe and operable. The supervisor shall notify the employee of the decision in writing. If the employee still feels that the condition was unsafe, then the employee may report the condition to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. The Department of Environmental Health and Safety will investigate the condition and make its recommendations in writing. If the condition is not corrected, the employee may file a grievance. Abuse of this section may be cause for disciplinary action.
