will be appointed by the FFA and two (2) of whom will be appointed by the<br />
provost/vice president for Academic Affairs, be formed, notifY the FF A that such<br />

30 imminent safety and/or health danger. For the purposes of this Section, imminent danger is<br />
31 defined as a condition where there is reasonable certainty that a hazard exists that can be<br />
32 expected to cause death or serious physical harm immediately or before the hazard can be<br />
3 3 eliminated through regular procedures. When there is a risk of exposure to recognized hazards<br />
34 in the workplace, the Employer is obliged to take all reasonable non-discriminatory steps to<br />
35 ameliorate the hazard. Additionally, the Employer agrees to make all means of egress,<br />
36 including access to work sites, safe from undesirable conditions caused by inclement weather,<br />
37 in a reasonable manner as determined by the affected area's health and safety team.<br />
38 B. The FF A and the Employer recognize that a cooperative approach between<br />
39 members and administrators at the work site, stressing the preventative aspects of safety/health<br />
