HAZARDOUS WORK CONDITIONS Clause Samples

The Hazardous Work Conditions clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to work performed in environments that present significant safety risks. It typically outlines the types of conditions considered hazardous, such as exposure to toxic substances, extreme temperatures, or dangerous machinery, and may require the use of specific safety equipment or adherence to regulatory standards. This clause ensures that both parties are aware of the risks involved and establishes protocols to protect workers, thereby minimizing liability and promoting a safe working environment.
