Common use of Workplace Security Clause in Contracts

Workplace Security. Workplace facilities occupied on a regular basis will have a written workplace security plan, which will be evaluated annually. The union will be given the opportunity to provide feedback in the development and revision of these plans and will be provided a final copy. The Agency is ultimately responsible for ensuring that there is a plan. Each plan, notwithstanding national direction on workplace security, will be developed to meet local situations and may be subject to impact and implementation bargaining. At a minimum, the plan must address the following: a. Occupant emergency plans. b. Security of buildings and surrounding areas, such as parking lots. c. Workplace violence, including but not limited to the procedures for reporting concerns and for establishing threat assessment protocols, to include properly trained threat assessment teams, in accordance with the USDA Handbook on Workplace Violence Prevention and Response. d. Continuation of Operation Plans, including current contacts and a list of positions essential for continued operation, which are updated when there are changes.
