20.4.1
The grievors sought the provision of safety footwear under provision 5(b) of the policy. The Physical Working Conditions Committee reported that neither the occupation of the grievor nor his work were unusual to the extent that purpose designed footwear as described in the Treasury Board Policy, would be required. It was the view of the Committee that commercially available safety footwear was sufficient. The Administrative Committee agreed.
The grievance was denied.
