Interim Action for Health & Safety Clause Samples
The Interim Action for Health & Safety clause authorizes immediate measures to be taken to protect the health and safety of individuals involved in a project or workplace. Typically, this clause allows either party to implement temporary actions—such as halting work, evacuating areas, or providing protective equipment—if a situation arises that poses a significant risk to health or safety. Its core function is to ensure that urgent risks are addressed without delay, thereby minimizing harm and liability while longer-term solutions or investigations are pursued.
Interim Action for Health & Safety. 1. When a MIRF is submitted, or a chapter(s) is believed to have committed a serious policy violation, action(s)/behavior(s) affecting the safety, health, or general welfare of a student and/or the USU community, etc., an Interim Action (IA) against the chapter may be issued by the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee to help ensure the health, safety and well- being of the chapter members, the FSL community, and/or the USU campus community.
2. An IA does not supplant the Misconduct Incident Process, which determines if a change in the chapter status or other sanctions are warranted. An IA can be issued or modified by the Vice President of Student Affairs or designee at any point. IA’s will stay in place until the health and safety concern is resolved.
a) As a matter of course, an IA will be automatically reviewed every two weeks until withdrawn. Each bi- weekly review will result in a decision regarding whether the action will be continued. Chapters may submit relevant evidence to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at any time to aid the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee in determining whether to continue or withdraw the IA.
3. A chapter may formally challenge an IA. Should the chapter choose to formally challenge an IA, it may submit any relevant evidence and a statement of no more than fifteen (15) typed pages to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs challenging the IA. Such submissions must be submitted no later than the thirteenth day following the initial date of the IA.
a) When such a submission is made, the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee will review the file along with the chapter’s submission and issue a written decision within twenty-one (21) days of the initial Interim Action.
b) The formal challenge is a separate process from the bi-weekly review described in Section XIII(E)(2). The Vice President for Student Affairs or designee shall perform automatic bi-weekly reviews regardless of whether the chapter exercises a formal challenge herein described. The bi-weekly reviews shall continue even after the Vice President for Student Affairs issues a decision in a formal challenge as herein described if that decision results in continuing the IA.
4. If a chapter is placed on an IA, they may be required to suspend all organized social activities until the IA is resolved and the chapter and/or its members may be restricted from participating in any USU-sponsored or recognized activi...
