Unsafe Conditions In accordance with 29 CFR § 1977, occasions might arise when an employee is confronted with a choice between not performing assigned tasks or subjecting himself/herself to serious injury or death arising from a hazardous condition at the workplace. If the employee, with no reasonable alternative, refuses in good faith to expose himself/herself to the dangerous condition, he/she would be protected against subsequent discrimination. The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger by resorting to regular statutory enforcement channels. In addition, in such circumstances, the employee, where possible, must also have sought from his Employer, and been unable to obtain, a correction of the dangerous condition.
Safe Conditions Whenever an employee reports a condition which the employee feels represents a violation of safety or health rules and regulations or which is an unreasonable hazard to persons or property, such conditions shall be promptly investigated. The appropriate administrator shall reply to the concern, in writing, if the employee's concern is communicated in writing.
SAFETY CONDITIONS 8.1 The District shall make every effort to provide a place of employment which is safe. A unit member shall not be required to perform duties under conditions which endanger his/her health or safety. 8.2 The District shall make a good faith effort to reduce or alleviate those conditions which cause stress. The reduction of threats or intimidation by students or other members of the public shall be a continuous effort of both the District and unit members working together. 8.3 Unit members who feel they are being required to work under unsafe or unsanitary conditions, or to perform tasks that endanger their health or safety, shall submit written recommendations for changes to the principal or site administrator. The principal or site administrator shall respond and take corrective action as needed. 8.4 The District shall ensure that each unit member has access to a lockable desk, cupboard or other lockable space. 8.5 Unit members other than the school nurse, shall not be required to provide specialized physical health care. 8.6 Unit members are authorized to administer discipline to students in accordance with the Education Code and the rules and regulations of the District. A written description of the rights and duties of unit members with respect to student discipline shall be provided to unit members at the beginning of each school year. In addition, said written descriptions shall be available at each school site. The District shall not take action against a unit member who uses reasonable and lawful force in the performance of his/her duties. Unit members shall report any physical assault against the unit member to the principal or site administrator, who shall report the incident to the appropriate law enforcement agency. 8.7 During conditions of excessive heat, the Superintendent or designee, whenever appropriate, will reduce the school day for students in schools with non-operable air conditioning, to the State required minimum day. Unit members may be directed to proceed to a district air conditioned location for the remainder of the service day. The Superintendent or designee shall have the discretion to reduce the school day to the State required minimum day whenever other weather conditions pose a danger to students and unit members. Unit members may be directed to proceed to another District location for the remainder of the service day. 8.8 For protection of unit members whose normal duties may require transportation of students in unit member's vehicles, the District shall provide secondary insurance against personal liability for damages for death, injury to a person, or damage or loss of property caused by the negligent act or omission of the unit member when acting within the scope of his/her employment. Additionally, the District will provide this same coverage to unit members who are required to travel from site-to- site or make home visitations in order to perform assigned duties. When a loss occurs, the unit member's primary insurance deductible will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $500.00. If administrator approval is unobtainable, the teacher's best judgment for the protection of student safety shall be included in the above. 8.9 Restrooms shall be available to unit members whenever they are required to render service. 8.10 Adequate lounge facilities shall be provided for unit members' use. Additionally, the District shall provide, when fiscally possible, at least one piece of furniture per site where a staff member may recline. The site safety committee shall determine the placement of these facilities and furniture. 8.11 Unit members shall have the right to refer to the office, a student who exhibits symptoms of illness which endanger the health of other students or the unit member. The student shall not return to the classroom until it is determined by the principal/site administrator that his/her health is not a clear and present danger to those with whom he/she shares space. The student shall be given a pass to return to class signed by the principal/site administrator confirming the decision. 8.12 The District shall reimburse or repair articles of clothing, glasses and hearing aids damaged while the unit member is acting in the proper discharge of disciplinary/ supervisorial duties. In addition, all other accessories damaged under the conditions listed above shall be reimbursed up to a maximum of $200.00.
Market Conditions Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, settlement and payment for Foreign Assets received for the account of the Portfolios and delivery of Foreign Assets maintained for the account of the Portfolios may be effected in accordance with the customary established securities trading or processing practices and procedures in the country or market in which the transaction occurs, including, without limitation, delivering Foreign Assets to the purchaser thereof or to a dealer therefor (or an agent for such purchaser or dealer) with the expectation of receiving later payment for such Foreign Assets from such purchaser or dealer. The Custodian shall provide to each Board the information with respect to custody and settlement practices in countries in which the Custodian employs a Foreign Sub-Custodian described on Schedule C hereto at the time or times set forth on such Schedule. The Custodian may revise Schedule C from time to time, provided that no such revision shall result in a Board being provided with substantively less information than had been previously provided hereunder.
Unsafe Work Conditions No Employee shall be disciplined for refusal to work on a job which in the opinion of: (a) A member of a safety committee; or (b) A person designated by a safety committee; or (c) A safety officer after an on-site inspection and following discussion with a representative of the Employer, does not meet the standards established pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Act.
TEACHING CONDITIONS The parties recognize that optimum school facilities for both student and teacher are desirable to insure the high quality of education that is the goal of both the Association and the Board. It is also acknowledged that the primary duty and responsibility of the teacher is to teach and that the organization of the school and school day should be directed toward ensuring that the energy of the teacher is primarily utilized to this end.
Unsafe Working Conditions Employees shall be recognized by the Employer to have the competence to determine what constitutes unsafe working conditions within their discipline. No employee shall be disciplined for refusal to work in a situation which is deemed unsafe beyond the reasonable requirements of the employee's job.

Should conditions encountered below the surface of the ground be at variance to the number of unit requirements as indicated by drawings or specifications, and absent an agreed-upon unit price established prior to the bid by Addendum, or after contract execution by Change Order, the Contract Sum and/or time shall be adjusted as provided in the Contract Documents for changes in the work.
FUTURE ACTIVITIES AND UNKNOWN CONDITIONS This Agreement shall not operate to shield the Respondent from liability arising from future activities, as of the date of execution of this Agreement.
