C.R.E.S.T is providing classroom and hands-on training on a Two-Day Supervisor and Union Representatives Review of Setting Up a Joint Labor/Management Safety and Health Committee and Written Plan to the union representatives and the supervisors at the Bath Iron Works facility. This was a two-day session that emphasizes the importance of joint relationships.

Some of the key elements included organizational structure; identify committee roles and responsibilities and employee involvement.
In the original three-day setting up a joint labor/management committee class, both the company and union drafted a joint mission statement and outline their joint commitments to safety and the employees of Bath Iron Works Corporation by; defining improved overall communications, identifying training and on-going training requirements for the committee and sub-committees through organizational and process techniques.
