Working Arrangements (i) The former industry practice whereby all Employees on site working in direct sunlight were relocated to shaded or air- conditioned areas when the temperature reached 32°C, will no longer operate. (ii) At temperatures below 35°C workers are not to be relocated out of direct sunlight unless the work environment creates a serious risk to their health and safety, having regard to the nature of the tasks being undertaken, provided that the task or activity being performed is completed and the penalty provisions as for emergency work under the Award shall apply. (iii) Once the temperature reaches 35°C work will cease, and workers may leave the site, provided that the task or activity being performed is completed and the penalty provisions as for emergency work under the Award shall apply. (iv) During periods of hot weather, work in air conditioned environments shall continue as normal. Workers will walk a reasonable distance through the open to and from amenities and the air-conditioned work space, provided it does not pose a serious threat to their health or safety. Alternatively, where the Employer can artificially ventilate covered spaces onsite and reduce the temperature to below 35°C, work may continue as normal subject to consultation and agreement with affected Employees to comply with the provisions of this clause. (v) By agreement with the OH&S committee and head contractor during periods of inclement weather (heat) the Saturday break roster can be applied to weekday work.
