Safety Disputes Resolution Procedure Clause Samples

The Safety Disputes Resolution Procedure clause establishes a formal process for resolving disagreements related to safety issues on a project or within an organization. Typically, this clause outlines the steps parties must follow, such as notifying the other party of the dispute, engaging in discussions or mediation, and possibly escalating the matter to arbitration or another neutral third party if necessary. Its core function is to ensure that safety concerns are addressed promptly and systematically, minimizing risks and preventing work stoppages or unsafe conditions due to unresolved disputes.
Safety Disputes Resolution Procedure. 12.1.1 Resolving health and safety issues 12.1.2 Where the supervisor or the employee health and safety representative consider there is likely to be an immediate risk to the health and safety of any person they may, jointly or singularly, direct that work in that particular area, or by that particular method, cease (immediate risk means that there is a degree of danger which is likely to cause injury or disease before the risk can be eliminated). 12.1.3 Work in the affected area(s) shall cease and employees shall be relocated to work in alternative safe areas where work is available in their classification. 12.1.4 Employees may be relocated to other job sites where there is safe work available in their classification. Wherever possible, the ETU representative shall be informed prior to any relocation. 12.1.5 Where there is no work available for the particular employees, they shall remain on site and make themselves readily available for resumption of work without loss of pay. Failure to do so shall negate any claim for payment. Provided that the Company will not unreasonably require employees to remain for an unreasonable time period where there is no reasonable prospect of a resumption of work that day. 12.1.6 During discussions the employee health and safety representative may seek the assistance of the ETU and the supervisor may seek advice or assistance. 12.1.7 Where the supervisor and the employee health and safety representative cannot agree on a procedure, either party may call in a WorkCover Inspector, who may provide advice on the proposed procedure. 12.1.8 The supervisor and the employee health and safety representative shall agree on the best method of rectifying the problem. 12.1.9 At all times, employees must not work in situations where there is a genuine risk to their health and safety.

(c) If a SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item is submitted to arbitration, it shall be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), except as otherwise provided herein.

(d) The non-moving party shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a notice of arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.1, deliver a notice to the moving party setting forth: (i) The name and address of the arbiter selected by the non-moving party (the “Respondent Arbiter”), who shall be a neutral, as determined by the AAA; (ii) A statement of the position of the respondent with respect to each Dispute Item; and (iii) The ultimate resolution sought by the respondent or other relief, if any, the respondent deems is due the moving party with respect to each SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item. Failure to adequately include any information above shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the non-moving party’s right to defend such arbitration so long as after notification of such failure the non-moving party cures such failure as promptly as reasonably practicable (e) The Moving Arbiter and Respondent Arbiter shall select a third arbiter from a list furnished by the AAA. In accordance with the rules of the AAA, the three (3) arbiters shall constitute the arbitration panel for resolution of each SF Loss-Share Dispute Item. The concurrence of any two (2) arbiters shall be deemed to be the decision of the arbiters for all purposes hereunder. The arbitration shall proceed on such time schedule and in accordance with the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the AAA then in effect, as modified by this Section 7.1.
