Unsafe Assignment Sample Clauses

Unsafe Assignment. The union and employer recognize the critical lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the resulting variation from historic best practices that have been allowed by Oregon Health Authority and CDC. However, caregiver safety is of paramount importance to ensure continued delivery of patient care to the greatest number of patients. Therefore, any nurse who believes that the PPE and other precautions that are being provided are not in compliance with OHA guidelines shall follow the following chain of command: 1) All nurses should be familiar with current OHA guidelines relating to PPE and COVID-19 precautions, 2) Before taking an assignment, the nurse should determine whether adequate PPE is available for the patient being assigned. If the patient is a diagnosed COVID-19 patient or person under investigation (PUI) and the nurses believe that the assignment is unsafe to themselves because of lack of PPE, based on OHA guidelines, the nurse should identify the issue with their charge nurse. 3) If charge nurse cannot correct the issue, and the nurse wishes to decline the assignment, then they should do so by identifying the deficiency to the nurse’s supervisor by reference to OHA guidelines. 4) If they are ordered to accept the assignment by a supervisor, and the nurse again wishes to decline, the nurse should identify the non-compliance with OHA guidelines to the CNO or their designee at the following phone number and submit an SRDF form to the Union and employer. 5) If the CNO/designee still directs the nurse to accept the assignment, and the nurse refuses, the nurse shall be placed on leave. No nurse who in good faith refuses a patient assignment based upon non-compliance with OHA PPE guidelines shall be disciplined.

In the Electricity Production Zones when work falls within this criteria the EPSCA Office will send out a “Notification of Work” along with a copy of the original minutes of xxxx-up meeting(s) to the Local Union prior to work commencing. This procedure shall not preclude the Union’s right to contest previously assigned work, if the work is in a Local Union jurisdiction other than the one it was marked up in.

The Unions may attend these markup meetings, and every effort will be made to settle questions of jurisdiction before the work is expected to commence. (f) The Employer who has the responsibility for the work shall make a proposed assignment of the work involved. The Employer shall be responsible for providing copies of proposed assignments to the Union at the markup meeting. The Employer will specify a reasonable time limit for the Unions involved to submit evidence of their claims. The Employer will evaluate all evidence submitted and make a final assignment of the work involved. This final assignment will be in accordance with the procedural rules established by the Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry. The Employer will advise the Unions of the final assignments prior to the work commencing. (g) The EPSCA representative will record the proposed assignments and jurisdictional claims and forward a copy of them within fifteen (15) working days to the Union.
