Shade may be provided by any natural or artificial means that does <br />not expose employees to unsafe or unhealthy conditions and that does not deter <br />or discourage access or use. <br />“Temperature” means the dry bulb temperature in degrees Fahrenheit obtainable <br />by using a thermometer to measure the outdoor temperature in an area where <br />there is no shade. While the temperature measurement must be taken in an area <br />with full sunlight, the bulb or sensor of the thermometer should be shielded while <br />taking the measurement, e.g., with the hand or some other object, from direct <br />contact by sunlight. <br />“Provision of Water” Employees shall have access to potable drinking water. <br />Where drinking water is not plumbed or otherwise continuously supplied, potable <br />drinking water will be provided in sufficient quantity at the beginning of the work <br />shift to provide one quart per employee per hour for drinking for the entire shift. In <br />addition, employees have access to an ice machine at the Public Works Corporate <br />Yard, North County Landfill and Lovelace Transfer Station and will be able to add <br />ice to the potable water to keep the water cool.
