General Scheme Clause Samples
The "General Scheme" clause outlines the overall framework and guiding principles that govern the interpretation and application of an agreement or policy. It typically sets the context for how the document should be read, clarifying the intent behind its provisions and establishing the foundational rules that apply throughout. For example, it may specify that the agreement is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with its stated objectives or that certain terms have overarching meanings. This clause ensures consistency and coherence in the application of the document, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes over interpretation.
General Scheme. The Laboratory Environmental Management Standard is a significant improvement in that it makes explicit to the research community that there is (i) an institutional commitment in the form of a policy to prevent pollution, (ii) a procedure for conducting an annual survey of hazardous chemicals of concern and (iii) a better system to reduce the potential for hazardous chemicals to accumulate and become wastes. (See Appendix 2 for the complete Laboratory Environmental Management Standard and Minimum Performance Criteria.) By way of example, each XL Participant’s Laboratory Environmental Management Plan must include or reference:
General Scheme a. Sickness, maternity, death (grant), invalidity: Caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (Sickness Insurance Primary Fund. In cases other than invalidity: – for the Paris area: Caisse régionale d'assurance maladie (Sickness Insurance Regional Fund), Paris; – for the Strasbourg area: Caisse régionale d'assurance maladie (Sickness Insurance Regional Fund), Strasbourg.

General Scheme. The Laboratory Environmental Management Standard is a significant improvement in that it makes explicit to the research community that there is (i) an institutional commitment in the form of a policy to prevent pollution, (ii) a procedure for conducting an annual survey of hazardous chemicals of concern and (iii) a better system to reduce the potential for hazardous chemicals to accumulate and become wastes. (See Appendix 1 for the complete Laboratory Environmental Management Standard and Minimum Performance Criteria.) By way of example, each XL Participant’s Laboratory Environmental Management Plan must include or reference: · a pollution prevention plan · defined procedures for conducting an annual survey of laboratories that potentially store hazardous chemicals of concern (“HCOC”) · defined procedures for conducting laboratory decommissionings (e.g., cleanouts) · defined procedures for the timely removal of laboratory wastes from the laboratory.
