Crane Erection & Jumping (a) Cranes and man/material hoists may be erected, altered, climbed and dismantled during times when ordinary production works are in progress subject to the work being done in full compliance with a relevant operational safety zone (OSZ) plan which has been developed specifically for that operation with consideration to overall site safety.

(i) crane driver; and
(ii) three (3) dogmen.
(c) In addition to the appropriate tickets held by the crane driver and the dogmen, the following high risk licences must be held amongst the Crane Crew:

Bumping Employees who are reduced may bump within their classification or to a lower ranking classification within their classification group where they meet the qualifications as determined by the job description, and have demonstrated ability, capacity or skill. Bumping must be within the affected employee’s current division (Article 9(B)(5) above) or to a lower division. No employee has the right to bump into a higher division.
a. An employee given an initial notice of layoff can either accept the layoff or he/she can exercise seniority bumping rights. A request to bump must be made within three (3) business days of receipt of the layoff notice. The bumping right can be exercised to assume the position of the least senior employee who holds a position in the affected employee’s classification. If there is no less senior employee within the affected employee’s classification, he/she may bump the least senior employee in the immediately lower classification (and each lower classification in turn) in the same classification group, provided he/she has greater seniority and the requisite skills and qualifications to do the job. For example, if a Maintenance III position were reduced, the displaced employee could bump into a Maintenance II, Maintenance I or Courier position held by a less senior employee. Classification groups are set forth in Appendix B.
b. An employee who is displaced as a result of being bumped under this Article may also use his or her seniority in the same manner to bump the least senior employee in the next lower classification within the classification group provided he/she has the skills and qualifications to do the job.
c. Employees who are to be laid off may not bump employees with less seniority in higher ranking classifications within the classification group; or in higher divisions; or in positions outside their classification group.
d. In order to bump, the employee must have the ability, capacity and skill to perform the job and must demonstrate the ability to perform all job functions within twenty (20) working days from the date he or she assumes the job duties. If, after twenty (20) working days, the employee cannot perform the duties of the lower ranked job in a satisfactory manner, the employee may, at the discretion of the District, either be given additional time for training and job mastery or be laid off. If he or she is laid off, the District will fill the job either by recall of an employee who was laid off from a higher ranked position within the classification group or by recalling the employee who was bumped out of that position. In the event there are no qualified individuals on the recall list, the District may fill the position using its established hiring practices.
e. The employee who bumps into a lower ranked classification shall be paid according to the salary schedule for that classification and will be placed at the same incremental step held in his or her previous classification.
