Common use of Method Development Clause in Contracts

Method Development. The parties to the collective agreement agree that the part of the work studies aiming to determine the most practical production method and comprising examinations of the workplace, working conditions, tools, ancillary equipment, machines, material, means of transport etc. as well as the actual working process must normally take place before the actual fixing of piece rates. In addition, it is assumed that both the shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the work study shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have access to the material used by the enterprise for method development. The health and safety group must take part in this planning and organisation of the work in order to ensure that the work may be performed observing all health and safety requirements, cf. the Danish Working Environment Act, which the safety group must certify. The health and safety group may propose changes and object with certification, but amendments and objections do not, in principle, have a suspensory effect on the completion, release and testing of the agreement.
