Heat Relief. During the months of June to September the Company will make available water and electrolyte drinks in the Core Department, Mould, Melt & Pour area, Finishing Department, Aluminum Department, and Maintenance Department. The Company will maintain a Heat Stress Policy and will address specific concerns regarding exposure to heat as they occur.
Heat Relief. To determine if Heat Relief is required:
Heat Relief. The formula for arriving at the required temperature and humidity to provide heat relief is as follows: When 1/5 of the humidity, plus the temperature is equal to 102 degrees Fahrenheit or more, the Company will provide heat relief in the amount of ten (10) minutes per hour. No heat relief shall be provided during the first hour of any shift. Eg. Humidity 70% (1/5 of 70) = 14 Temperature 88 = 88 102 In order to provide a reasonable process for the taking of temperature and humidity readings, the following has been established:
Heat Relief. It is understood that this issue will be referred back to the Heat Relief sub-committee and/or the current Joint Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) to review the report from the Industrial Hygienist’s previous study and proceed with implementing a revised Heat Relief Program. There will be two (2) main objectives to the revised Heat Relief program:
Heat Relief. The parties agree that when the temperature in the plant reaches a level that the health of employees is in question, the Company will meet with the Shift Committee person to discuss actions to minimize the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an employee is unable to work due to excessive heat, the employee shall inform the Supervisor, who will grant a pass to leave the premises. The employee shall exit the plant immediately upon receiving the pass.
Heat Relief. Increase the frequency and length of rest breaks on high humidity days. Humidex readings should be taken hourly from a central location in the plant and reported to operations by shift managers. • Humidex Reading 36° Celsius – Plant Wide – 5 minutes for non-scheduled break hours. • Humidex Reading 40° Celsius – Plant Wide – 10 minutes for non-scheduled break hours. • Humidex Reading over 40° Celsius – Plant Wide – 15 minutes for non-scheduled break hours. 15 minutes to be confirmed by FCA, Plant Liaison and/or Local Union at FCA • Readings taken from xxxx://xxxxxxx.xx.xx/trends_table/pages/yyz_metr ic_e.html
Heat Relief. The parties will monitor the temperature in the workshop daily throughout the summer months using the Company’s thermometers. Thermometers will sit in 3 separate locations within the workshop and the average temperature shown by readings of those thermometers which are, as nearly as possible, taken at the same time will be used for the purpose of this clause. Readings will be monitored by the Service Manager (or in the absence or unavailability of the Service Manager, the Parts Manager) and the shop xxxxxxx or a non- management representative on the OHS committee. If the temperature in the workshop reaches or is above 36 degrees Celsius, based on average readings, and one ten (10) minute additional paid tea break period in which this beverage may be consumed. Cold water and 375ml non alcoholic beverages will continue to be available at all times. As a trial for the life of this Agreement, employees will be permitted to consume beverages as reasonably necessary to maintain appropriate hydration, provided that work will not cease and no extended break is taken.

Heat Relief. On those days when it becomes necessary, one employee designated by the Union will take an outside temperature check on Plant One property at a.m., a.m. and at a reasonable frequency thereafter until a.m. The Union shall determine the individual(s) who will be responsible for performing temperature checks and will ensure that normal production processes will not be adversely affected as a result. The Company reserves the right to verify the temperatures reported. When the outside temperature is twenty-eight degrees Celsius or more, communication of the temperature reading shall be the responsibility of the designated Union representative. Notification of the employees shall not occur, unless and until the Company has been advised. In addition, when temperatures are extreme, extra relief will be provided as necessary. Employees in the plant who cannot tolerate the heat, after discussing available alternatives with the Shift Manager, will, after four hours, on an individual basis, and upon submission of a Heat Relief Absence Request Form, be permitted to leave the plant, to a yearly maximum of eighteen hours and will not be required to see a doctor, make a hospital visit. It is understood that in such cases production and customer needs will continue to be met through the transfer of other employees. Moreover, it is understood that if there are not enough employees to perform the work available, the Company and the Negotiating Committee will meet to discuss possible solutions. Should the Company introduce engineering controls which reduce the temperature in the facility, both parties agree to review this letter of understanding and modify it accordingly. During the period from Victoria Day weekend to Labour Day weekend, each employee will receive one additional fifteen minute break per shift. Yours sincerely, Xxxxx Human Resources Manager LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING 2 April Xx. Xxxxxxxx President Local King Street East Ontario Dear Xx.
