SECTION 17. SAFETY <br />Each employee covered by this MOU agrees to comply with all safety rules and <br />regulations in effect and any subsequent rules and regulations that may be adopted. <br />Employees further agree that they will report all accidents and safety hazards to the <br />appropriate management official immediately. Any employee having knowledge of or <br />who is a witness to an accident shall, if requested, give full and truthful testimony as to <br />same. <br />SECTION 18. LIMITED DUTY WORK <br />18.1 An injured employee who is receiving medical attention for an alleged industrial <br />injury, and who is determined to be temporarily disabled, is required to return to <br />the department after initial treatment a medical report indicating that, if any, <br />limited duty the employee can perform. If none, the report should so indicate. <br />The department routinely requires periodic updating reports and these should also <br />contain this information. <br />18.2 An employee on extended sick leave is likewise required to provide these periodic <br />reports, which should also contain limited duty information. <br />18.3 For employees whose limited duty arrangement calls for less than the regular <br />number of hours worked per payroll period, the hours actually worked will be <br />shown as regular time on the time card and the remaining hours (the difference <br />between hours actually worked and hours normally scheduled) charged to the <br />appropriate leave. For persons expected to be on a less -than -normal schedule for <br />more than thirty (30) days, the department will initiate a personnel action form <br />adjusting accrual rates of such work scheduled -related benefits as vacation, sick <br />leave or industrial disability as set forth in subsection 9. When the individual <br />returns to his or her regular work schedule, the department will initiate another <br />personnel action form to return accrual rates to normal; however, there will be no <br />adjustment of balances as a result of an accrual rate change. <br />18.4 The duty limitations specified by the treating physician must be strictly adhered to <br />when making work assignments. <br />18.5 Limited -duty assignments should be such that there is minimum risk of further <br />injury or aggravation. <br />34 <br />
