Disabling Defect Sample Clauses

Disabling Defect. The City agrees to furnish and to maintain to the best of its ability all tools, facilities, vehicles, supplies and equipment required to safely carry out the duties of each position. No employee shall be required to use any equipment that has been designated by both the Police Department Grievance Committee and the Employer as being defective because of a disabling condition unless the disabling condition has been corrected. When an assigned department vehicle is found to have a disabling defect or is in violation of the law, the officer will notify the proper supervisor, complete required reports, and follow the supervisor’s direction relative to requesting repair, replacement, or the continued operation of the vehicle. Employees are responsible for reporting unsafe conditions or practices and for properly using and caring for all tools and equipment furnished by the City. No disciplinary action will be taken against any member of the Police Department who refuses to drive a cruiser or use any other equipment which in the member’s opinion is unsafe, until checked by a person authorized by the Chief of Police (or designee).
