Common use of Worksite Access Clause in Contracts

Worksite Access. A. CCPOA stewards or representatives seeking access to the employees in a work or secure area, or to review documents, shall provide the department head or designee with reasonable advance notice of the visit. Access may be denied or delayed or limited for reasons of safety, security, public order, or other business- related reasons. Access to employees shall not be unreasonably withheld. B. Access to work locations solely for the purpose of observation of the worksite, not involving discussion with employees, may be granted with reasonable advance notice with an appropriate escort. On occasion the representative may need to talk confidentially with the employee or take confidential notes. Under these circumstances, management agrees, if requested by the representative, to ensure reasonable physical separation between the escort, the representative and the employee. However, for legitimate business-related reasons, the representative may be required to take notes or communicate with the employee at an alternate location.
