Common use of HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS Clause in Contracts

HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. ‌ In cases of severe wind, rain, or electrical storms, severe temperatures/wind chill factors, or severe snow storms and ice blanketing, no employee shall be unnecessarily compelled to work under conditions which involve a physical risk to his or her health and personal safety. In the event that the Union believes that employees are being compelled to work under such conditions, the Local Union President or his or her designee has the right to discuss the matter with the President & CEO or designee. However, such discussion shall not affect the Authority’s rights under this Section. If, after such discussion, the Authority maintains that employees should work under such conditions, the Authority shall provide such employees with the protective, foul weather gear and clothing specified by the President & CEO or designee in consultation with the Union. The Authority shall be responsible for continuing to clean such items and shall furnish such items for use by employees under the conditions specified in this Section, and as outlined in Article 28. The employees shall return such items at the end of each day of use, unless otherwise directed by the President & CEO or designee.
