Temperature Conditions. The parties recognize that temperature conditions in and around work areas can have a direct bearing on employees' comfort, morale, health and safety. In determining the stress that temperature extremes may place upon an individual employee, the personal comfort and health of the employee will be taken into consideration as well as related factors such as wind chill factor, air flow, the work to be performed, and similar considerations. Where the Employer's Bioenvironmental Office determines that the effective temperature in a particular work area or site exceeds recognized standards for the degree of work being performed, the Employer will take precautionary measures to reduce the risk to employees so exposed. Such measures will include reduction of work being performed, increased frequency or duration of rest periods, etc. This Section shall apply to both heat and cold exposure situations. Protective clothing for such situations will be provided where authorized in accordance with Section 25.05.
