“The Great Atlantic and Pacific Company of Canada is committed to providing its employees and customers with a safe and healthy working and shopping environment. All reasonable efforts will be made to eliminate unsafe conditions and unsafe practices from the workplace. We will examine how Dominion takes precautions to protect workers, provides information, instruction and supervision to workers to protect their health and safety, and how they inform workers of potential or actual workplace hazards and the way to deal with it. We will also review the actions taken in the event of an accident, as well as the audits and inspections necessary to protect and correct areas of the business. Taking precautions in certain circumstances for the protection of a worker is done in different ways. For example, Dominion provides butchers with metal gloves and aprons to protect them from a knife slipping and cutting them. They also provide the photo lab with protective goggles, a splash-proof apron, and plastic gloves to protect them from hazardous chemical spills that could cause serious damage to their skin or eyes. To protect their workers and customers, wet floor signs are provided to warn people to tread carefully. Employees are provided with clip-on ties, which is a precautionary measure so that we are not strangled if our ties get stuck. Each department has an eye wash station and first aid kit which are provided so that an injury can be treated to prevent further damage.

For example, our grocery section will stand on our produce trucks so they can reach the top shelf. They will also move around the island so they don't have to get on and off a stool. I find this very dangerous and our store manager does not say anything to these employees, nor does our health and safety committee. This kind of action should not be allowed and there should be consequences if you are caught using the trucks in this matter. The manager doesn't take health and safety seriously until head office comes into the store, which really affects how others view the issue. If the manager is not involved in ensuring employees follow the correct procedure, how is the health and safety committee supposed to enforce things? We are a very clean store and this is due to auditing and inspections. Without these audits, I would see our store fall into a bad situation. It is reassuring to note that the..
