Special Hazards / Imminent Risk Sample Clauses

Special Hazards / Imminent Risk. When duties involving special hazards must be performed, the Agency will inform the employees involved concerning the hazards/risks and the proper work methods to be used. When an employee or the Union believes that the employee is being required to work under conditions that are unsafe or unhealthy beyond normal hazards inherent in the operation in question, he or she shall refer the matter to his or her supervisor. This may include situations where staffing levels are not in keeping with the demonstrated levels of risk. The supervisor will make an evaluation of the working conditions and direct that the work either be continued or stopped. If the supervisor directs that the work continue, the employee (or Union official) may, if time permits, immediately escalate the request for review of the matter to the second line supervisor. However, if time does not permit such an escalation, the employee must obey the order of the supervisor unless the employee reasonably believes that obeying the order would expose the employee to a health or safety hazard presenting an imminent risk of death or serious bodily harm.
