Common use of Hot Weather Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Hot Weather Guidelines. 14.1 Under this Agreement when air temperature reaches: (a) 35°C; or (b) 29°C and 75% humidity or more after three hours from commencement of each trades shift in southeast Queensland, it shall constitute inclement weather (Extreme Hot Weather). 14.2 This definition will be subject to review in other regions. This clause 14 must be incorporated in the Employer’s OHS Procedures for all applicable Projects. 14.3 Before finishing work, Employees must be alerted to possible Extreme Hot Weather forecasted for the following day by the PCBU, Site manager, and HSRs. This will allow preparation for works to be modified to reduce this category of heat exposure in accordance with clause 14.1. For forecasting, planning and guidance the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) shall be used for weather observations. Monitoring heat on the day will be done with a calibrated wet bulb thermometer. 14.4 When Extreme Hot Weather is forecasted for the following day, the Employer’s Site Manager, WHS Committee and WHS Representatives will consult and determine what actions are to be taken to reduce exposure and modify the program and/or workload prior to the Extreme Hot Weather, which may include: (a) rescheduling work so that certain tasks are performed during the cooler part of the day, or on another day (b) reducing the time spent doing hot tasks (for example, by job rotation) (c) arranging for more workers to do the job (d) providing extra rest breaks in a cool area (e) providing cool drinking water and ice (machines) near the work site (f) increasing air movement by fans or coolers (g) installing shade cloth to reduce radiant heat from the sun (h) consideration must be given to working an eight-hour day. 14.5 Once the temperature reaches extreme levels, as defined in clause 14.1 the following process will be followed: (a) Where the temperature reaches 35°C, there will be an orderly cessation of work and preparations for safe completions of critical tasks currently under way and/or applicable modifications to the program and workload as described in clause 14.4. (b) where the temperature is 29°C and 75% humidity or more after three hours from the commencement of a shift, there will be an orderly cessation of work and preparations for safe completions of critical tasks currently under way and/or applicable modifications to the program and/or workload as described in clause 14.4. 14.6 If there are areas of the workplace that are below any Extreme Hot Weather, work shall continue as normal in those areas. Employees unable to work elsewhere may be transferred to these areas below the extreme levels if work is available. Employees may walk a reasonable distance through areas effected by extreme hot weather to and from amenities, provided it does not pose an imminent risk to their health or safety.
