Excess Heat Sample Clauses

Excess Heat. The parties recognize conditions of excess heat and humidity may arise within the workplace. Such conditions are properly matters of discussion by the Health & Safety Committee. To support the efforts of the Health & Safety Committee, the Employer agrees to the following. The Employer will purchase an appropriate device or devices to measure the temperatures and humidity as required. There will be ongoing monitoring of such temperatures and humidity, as recommended by the Occupational Health & Safety Committee. There will be education for the staff, including a mandatory in-service, as to the health implications of excess heat or humidity, and how they can minimize the implications for themselves. There will be a review of daily staff duties, and if appropriate, such duties will be prioritised, or modified, so that where conditions of extreme temperature or humidity arise, the performance of such duties can either be delayed, or performed in an alternate fashion. The Employer will establish additional break periods, in five-minute increments, to a maximum of 15 minutes per hour, with the breaks to be available dependent on the conditions, as recommended by the Occupational Health & Safety Committee.
