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.
Adverse Weather Conditions Except in emergency conditions, the Employer shall not require an employee to work outside under extreme weather conditions.
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.
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.
Weather Conditions The Contractor will be required to protect all work and materials against damage or injury from the weather. If, in the opinion of the County, any work or materials shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure to protect such, all such materials or work shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
Qualifying Conditions In addition to any other compensation earned, any employee who is on the payroll of the Company on any of the foregoing recognized statutory holidays will be granted eight (8) hours' pay at the straight time rate of the employee's regular job, subject to compliance with all of the conditions (a) to (f) set forth below: (a) The employee must have been on the payroll for not less than the sixty (60) days just preceding the holiday and must have previously qualified for a statutory holiday as provided in (d) below, and (b) The employee must have worked at least one (1) day during the sixty (60)- day qualifying period just preceding the holiday, and (c) The employee must have worked their scheduled work day before, and their scheduled work day after, such holiday, unless failure to work their scheduled work day before or after the holiday was due to any of the following events: (i) When the employee is on their regular authorized paid vacation; (ii) When the employee is unable to work by reason of an industrial accident as recognized by the Workers' Compensation Board or non-occupational sickness or injury; (iii) When the operation in which the employee is engaged is curtailed or discontinued by the decision of the Company and which curtailment or discontinuance changes or eliminates the employee's scheduled work day before, or their scheduled work day after, such holiday; (iv) When a trade in shifts agreed upon between employees and approved in advance by the company results in a temporary change of the scheduled work day before, or the scheduled work day after, the holiday, provided the employee works the shift agreed upon; (v) When the employee is on a leave of absence authorized by the Company. (d) The employee who has been on the payroll for at least sixty (60) days but who has not previously qualified for a statutory holiday will qualify for the holiday if he has worked a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) hours during the sixty (60)- day qualifying period just preceding the holiday and meets the requirements of (b) and (c) above. (e) Time lost as the result of an accident as recognized by the Workers' Compensation Board, suffered during the course of employment, or time lost as a result of non-occupational sickness or injury shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of qualifying for a recognized paid holiday, it being understood that the employee will only be entitled to this credit for time while on Workers' Compensation or non-occupational sickness or injury for a period of up to but not exceeding one (1) year from the date of their sickness or injury. (f) It is understood and agreed, however, that an employee shall not receive the above provided holiday pay if they have agreed to work on such holiday and fails or refuses to work, except in the case where bona fide sickness, or other bona fide reason approved by the Company, prevents them working on such holiday.
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.
Specific Conditions If applicable, specific conditions required after a risk assessment will be included in Exhibit G. Grantee shall adhere to the specific conditions listed therein.
Subsurface Conditions Unless the Contract Documents stipulate specific quantities and units of rock or unsuitable soils, the Contractor shall assume material below the surface of the Earth to be earth and other material that can be removed by power shovel or similar equipment. 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.

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.

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.
