Work During Periods of Inclement Weather Sample Clauses

Work During Periods of Inclement Weather. Except during System Emergencies, or in cases of emergencies and/or power restoration, employees of the Line and Power System Technical Departments generally will not be required to work outdoors during inclement weather. For purposes of this Article, inclement weather shall be defined as excessive snow or rain conditions, or at actual or wind chill temperatures of zero degrees Fahrenheit or below. Wind chill shall be defined as follows: when the temperature is between zero degrees Fahrenheit and + 15 degrees Fahrenheit with sustained wind speeds of 20 miles per hour or greater, the wind speed shall be factored in to determine the “wind chill” temperature. It is to be expected that reasonable work activities may be assigned and performed during periods of inclement weather less severe than mentioned above. The supervisor, or designee, will determine whether or not weather conditions are such that the employee(s) will be sent into the field. In the absence or unavailability of the supervisor, the Lead Worker shall make the determination as to whether or not outside work shall be performed. For other classifications affected by exposure to the elements, supervisors will attempt, whenever possible, to rearrange work schedules or assignments to avoid unreasonable exposure to extremes of weather. Determinations are to be made at each reporting location for employees working from that location based on the National Weather Service (xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx) wind speed for the zip code of the reporting location. The National Weather Service Wind Chill Chart will be referenced to determine the net temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

If an employee’s clothes become wet as a result of working in the rain the employee will be allowed to go home for the remainder of the day without loss of pay. 16.7 Where an employee is not able to perform any work at any location because of inclement weather, the employee will receive payment at the ordinary hourly rate for ordinary hours.

However, where genuine training has been agreed in writing between the parties, then the course maybe completed in extraordinary circumstances. 16.14 Where the employees are in the sheds, because they have been rained off, or because it is at starting time, morning tea, or lunch time, and it is raining, they will not be required to go to work in a dry area or to be transferred to another site unless: (a) the rain stops; or (b) a covered walkway has been provided; or (c) the sheds are under cover and the employees can get to the dry area without going through the rain; or (d) adequate protection is provided. 16.15 Protection must, where necessary, be provided for the employees’ tools.
