Qwest Policies

Safety Equipment

Qwest Management has given the Union notice that in 2005, Qwest will be pushing the Safety button on everyone. It has been stated that ANYONE caught not wearing all of their safety equipment while working on a safety-sensitive job, may face disciplinary action as a direct result if they do not protect themselves by following this policy.

We, at the Union Hall, feel that safety is and should be everyone’s priority. As long as you have been issued, trained and covered on all safety equipment, policies, and procedures, we do not have an argument when it comes to safety. Especially seeing how it was the Unions that historically pushed for safer working conditions.

Remember: Be where you are supposed to be, wear what you are supposed to be wearing, and do your job in a safe and professional manner, and you should have nothing to worry about.
