GENERAL WORKING RULES Sample Clauses
The "General Working Rules" clause establishes the basic standards and procedures that govern how work is to be performed under an agreement. It typically outlines expectations regarding work hours, safety protocols, conduct, use of equipment, and compliance with relevant laws or policies. For example, it may specify required safety gear, break times, or reporting procedures for incidents. The core function of this clause is to ensure a clear, consistent framework for daily operations, promoting safety, efficiency, and mutual understanding between the parties involved.
