Emergency Telephone Calls Clause Samples

The Emergency Telephone Calls clause establishes the right or requirement for individuals to make or receive urgent phone calls in specific situations, such as during emergencies. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which emergency calls are permitted, who may authorize them, and any limitations on their duration or frequency. Its core function is to ensure that, even in restricted environments or under certain contractual conditions, individuals retain the ability to communicate in urgent situations, thereby safeguarding health, safety, or critical personal matters.
Emergency Telephone Calls. In the event of a family emergency the family member should contact Plant Security, 459-1249. When a family member calls Plant Security with an emergency situation for an employee, the caller should be prepared to provide Plant Security with the following information: employee's name, global ID (if possible), department, the caller's relationship to the employee and the nature of the emergency. When an emergency telephone call is received in Plant Security, the name of the employee, the time of the call, and the message will be recorded in an Emergency Call Log Book. The message will then be forwarded to the employee's supervisor. At the time the message is delivered to the department, the name of the party notified and the time will be recorded in the log. Once the message is given to the employee, the supervisor will be required to call back to confirm that the message was given. If this confirmation is not received in Plant Security within a reasonable time (15 minutes), a second call will be made to assure that the message was delivered. When an employee leaves the plant because of an alleged illness or injury and through Labor Relations is advised to see a physician, they must see a physician, urgent care or ER prior to the start of their next shift, or within 24 hours, whichever is sooner. All employees must be cleared to return to work prior to the start of their shift. The Operation Managers will address a letter to all supervisors instructing them of their responsibility for handling medical and restroom requests. The supervisors are to remind their employees that all medical and restroom requests are to be made directly to them except in an emergency. Abuse of either of these privileges will be dealt with on an exception basis only after counseling with area committeeman and Labor Relations. Accusations of supervisory disregard for the procedure will also be investigated by a member of the Bargaining Committee and manager of the department.
