Maximum Continuous Duty Sample Clauses
The Maximum Continuous Duty clause sets a limit on the amount of time equipment or machinery can operate continuously without interruption. In practice, this clause specifies the maximum duration—such as hours per day or per cycle—that a device may be run before requiring a rest or maintenance period, often to prevent overheating or excessive wear. By defining these operational limits, the clause helps ensure equipment longevity, safety, and compliance with manufacturer recommendations, thereby reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.
Maximum Continuous Duty. The maximum allowable continuous duty hours are capped at 120 hours (mandatory and/or voluntary), with a minimum 6-hour period thereafter before the employee returns to any duty. An exception to the maximum continuous duty hours may be approved by the Fire Chief or his/her designee in their sole discretion for off-district assignments through mutual aid or unusual circumstances, such as a local disaster.
