of safety and health in the plant in order to eliminate, as far as possible,
industrial accidents and illness.

on all full shifts an emergency first aid station and will provide access
to emergency medical care.
Section
2.

safety glasses shall be furnished by the Company for the duration of this
Agreement. This benefit will apply
only to employees who are required by the Company to wear safety glasses on
their job.

work environment based on the evidence that tobacco smoke and second-hand
