Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. In the case of a Rig Shift, major machinery breakdown or in the case of an emergency, Employees may be required to work beyond twelve (12) hours provided:
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. (a) In the case of a Rig Shift, major machinery breakdown or in the case of an emergency, Employees may be required to work beyond 12 hours, provided:
(i) An Employee will not be required to be continuously on active duty for more than 14 hours;
(ii) Where an Employee has been continuously on active duty for 14 hours, the Employee will not be required for further duty until the Employee has had, for the purpose of rest, a period of 10 consecutive hours’ off-duty inclusive of meal breaks.
(b) Continuous duty for the purpose of this clause is not broken by meal times or breaks of not more than four hours, which include a meal break.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. 26.2.1 An employee shall not work for more than eighteen hours continuously. After such an eighteen hour continuous work period he shall have ten hours off (inclusive of two meal hours), subject to employees being available to ensure the continuous operation of the vessel. Less than four hours off shall not constitute a break in the work period of eighteen continuous hour hereinbefore mentioned. For the purpose of this sub clause a passive shift shall not be counted as time worked.
26.2.2 An employee recalled to work extended hours otherwise than in a consecutive extension before or after ordinary duty for the day, shall be paid half a day’s aggregate wage for up to four hours’ work including other recalls within the four hours. If the work on such recall exceeds four hours or if there is a second or subsequent recall outside the four hours, a full day’s aggregate wage shall be paid in lieu of the forgoing payment.
26.2.3 Extended hours worked in the circumstances specified in this sub clause shall not be regarded as overtime for the purpose of 26.2
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. 23.3.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause 23.2 employees may be required to work additional hours. When this occurs the provisions of STCW 95 will be observed. This provides for Watch keepers the following:
23.3.1.1 A rest period of 10hrs per day, which may be split into two uninterrupted periods one not being less than six hours.
23.3.1.2 A minimum of 70 hours rest in a seven-day period.
23.3.1.3 The minimum hours referred to above should not be interpreted as implying that the other hours may be devoted to watch-keeping or other duties.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. The parties acknowledge that the accepted industry standard provides for a maximum of 14 hours operational work per day and a minimum of 10 hours rest per day. However the parties also agree that because of the unpredictability of vessel movements the strict application of this standard may not always be possible.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. 4.6.1 Where a task requires the Employee to work continuously for more than 14 hours, the completion of the task shall be by mutual agreement between the Employee and the Employer. Any continuance of working hours shall not compromise workplace health and safety. Any Employee who has worked continuously for greater than 14 hours shall not recommence work until the Employee has availed of a 10 hours break off duty or such lesser period as mutually agreed between the Employer and the Employee.
4.6.2 For the purpose of this clause, continuity of an Employee's duty will not be regarded as broken, either by meal breaks taken by the Employee or by any other period the Employee is allowed off duty, unless the duration of such period is 4 hours or more.
4.6.3 When an Employee is required to be on duty to 2400 hours on any day or to continue duty beyond 2400 hours on any day, such Employee will not be required to recommence duty until the employee has had a period of a minimum of 10 hours off duty or such period as otherwise mutually agreed between the Employer and the Employee.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. An employee shall not work for more than fourteen hours continuously. After such a fourteen hour continuous work period he/she shall have ten hours off (inclusive of two meal hours), This may be reduced to 6 consecutive hours provided such reduction must not extend beyond two days. Less than four hours off shall not constitute a break in the work period of fourteen continuous hours hereinbefore mentioned. For the purpose of this subclause a passive shift shall not be counted as time worked.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. 20.1 The parties acknowledge that the accepted industry standard provides for a maximum of 14 hours operational work per day and a minimum of 10 hours rest per day. However the parties also agree that because of the unpredictability of vessel movements the strict application of this standard may not always be possible.
20.2 Notwithstanding sub-clause 20.1 the parties to this agreement recognise the standard and the sporadic nature of an employee’s operational duty, an employee shall not remain on operational duty aboard the vessel for more than eighteen (18) continuous hours. Should a situation arise where an employee is required to continue on operational duty for more than 18 hours, the employer shall make every endeavour to terminate such duty as soon as practicable, except where an employee is on standby whilst a vessel is berthed at Port Xxxxx.
20.3 Where practicable an off duty period will be arranged at any time in order to avoid being on duty for a period in excess of eighteen (18) hours.
20.4 For the purpose of this clause continuity of an employee's duty shall not be regarded as broken by any period allowed off duty unless the duration of such period is four hours or more.
20.5 An employee who has been on duty continuously for more than eighteen (18) hours shall not be required to resume before a continuous break of ten hours has elapsed from the time of finishing such duty. Such break will, generally, commence from the time a crew finishes duty in their home port, but should operational constraints dictate may be taken on completion of duty in another port, either on board the tug, or in shore accommodation, depending on the circumstances and following agreement with the crew.
20.6 The provisions of Clause 20.5 do not apply to crew members of tugs whilst standing by at Port Xxxxx.
20.7 The parties agree to revise this clause in the event of statutory or regulatory changes during the life of the agreement, or should internal operational reviews indicate that a review is warranted.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. 13.1 Unless necessary and subject to the NES, an Employee will not be required to be continuously on active duty for more than 18 hours.
13.2 Continuous duty for the purpose of this clause 13 of this Agreement is not broken by mealtime breaks.
13.3 Where an Employee has been continuously on active duty for 18 hours or more they will not be required for further duty until they have had, for the purpose of rest, a period of 10 consecutive hours off duty.
Avoidance of Physical Exhaustion. (a) The hours of rest will be in compliance with STCW and the MLC.
(b) The hours of rest shall not be less than:
(i) 10 hours in any 24-hour period; and
(ii) 77 hours in any seven-day period
(c) Hours or rest may be divided into two periods of which one shall be at least six hours in length.
(d) Hours spent travelling to the vessel are not considered rest hours and will be taken into account when complying with the hours of rest.
(e) The Master has the right to require any Employee to perform any hours of work necessary for the immediate safety of the Vessel, persons or board or cargo, or for the purpose of giving assistance to other Vessels or persons in distress at sea. In these situations, the Master may suspend hours of rest provisions until the normal situation has been restored. As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the Master shall ensure that any Employee who has performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with an adequate period of rest.
(f) In the circumstances where in the Chief Engineer’s opinion, compliance with the rest hours for Engineer Officers cannot be achieved, they will immediately discuss the situation with the Master.
