Extreme Weather. Section 20.1 Employees will not be required to do non-emergency duties outdoors when elements are of extreme conditions, (i.e., hosing down the lot in below freezing weather, operating the ladder/tower in unsafe conditions, such as high winds).
Extreme Weather. 41.01 Where outside drills, inspections and other outside non-emergency duties, testing or evaluations are necessary during extreme weather conditions, every reasonable precaution shall be taken to limit the duration of such testing or evaluation.
Extreme Weather. An employee unable to arrive to work and /or regularly call in to the Employer due to extreme weather (e.g. ice storm) shall not be held responsible for such situations. Employees may be required to provide proof of such extreme weather conditions prohibiting their ability to regularly report to work. If the school district cancels school and excuses district employees for the day, the Employer will not expect employees to work alone, under hazardous conditions. On days where schools is closed due to weather conditions, if an employee is unable to make it to work, the employee may use accrued paid time off to cover the absence. If an employee has exhausted paid time off, or has not yet accrued adequate amounts of paid time off to cover an absence due to extreme weather, and as a result of the absence the Employee falls below the monthly qualifying hour requirement for health and welfare coverage, the Employer will maintain health and welfare coverage, the Employer will maintain health and welfare coverage for the Employee for the month assuming they have otherwise qualified for health and welfare coverage.
Extreme Weather. Notwithstanding the current procedure developed by the Joint Health & Safety Committee, the parties agree that in response to extreme temperature humidex readings, such responses may include extended or additional rest periods and increased fluids, fans or other methods to alleviate heat stress and/or improve air circulation, supplied by the Company. The Company will meet with the union in April of each year to discuss requirements. The Company shall provide fans as necessary for each work cell. The JHSC will receive training on the use of equipment used for monitoring extreme weather and on methods for managing heat stress. Employees who become ill due to heat prostration may be transported for medical treatment and will be excused from work with full pay if the employee sought medical treatment and the attending physician acknowledges and verifies with documentation supporting a work-related illness.

Employees may be required to provide proof of such extreme weather conditions prohibiting their ability to regularly report to work. If the school district cancels school and excuses district employees for the day, the Employer will not expect employees to work alone, under hazardous conditions. If there is an ice/snow storm that occurs after school hours that creates hazardous driving conditions, employees will not be required to come to work if they cannot do so safely. Employees who are unable to safely report to work must follow the Employer’s regular call in procedures to report absences. On days where schools is closed due to weather conditions, if an employee is unable to make it to work, the employee may use accrued paid time off to cover the absence.

Extreme Weather. The Philippines has already recently been at the mercy of catastrophic natural disasters, the most fatal of which was Typhoon Haiyan, but more extreme weather events are likely to affect the country over the coming years as well. We were identified in the the 2016 Global Climate Risk Index as one of the nations most affected by extreme weather events in the period 1995 to 2014, and we ranked first in 2013 when Typhoon Haiyan inflicted more than 6,000 deaths and over $13 billion in losses. Over the coming years, we will very likely continue to experience cyclones with stronger maximum sustained winds, especially during an El Niño event. These extreme weather events have a social impact—risk reduction and management measures have to be put into place to minimize the damage from extreme flooding, prolonged and intensified droughts, more powerful typhoons, and intense storm surges. Without these measures, these disasters will wreak havoc on human settlements, damage public infrastructure, and exert even more pressure on food production and health systems. And of course, the people who will bear the brunt of this will be the urban poor and coastal communities, the people who are not only the most exposed to these disasters but are also the most socially and economically vulnerable. The impacts of climate change aren’t just limited to natural disasters. Public health is another arena that will be directly affected by climate change. In an already hot country that is projected to get warmer, the rising heat stress can aggravate existing cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions in people, especially the elderly. Changes in the frequency and amount of rainfall increase the risk of the spread of water-based and vector-borne diseases. And the increased health risks add pressure to the provision of health and medical services in the country. Agriculture, too, could be severely affected by temperature and rainfall changes by resulting in crop sterility, flooding damages to crops, and potential outbreaks of pests and diseases in plants and animals. In the marine sector, reef degradation from coral bleaching and fish migration affects harvest. If left unmitigated, decrease in crop production and fisheries yield will ultimately increase food prices, threaten food security in the country, and exacerbate poverty in the rural areas.
