Announcements regarding regular workday delays or cancellations should be made by identified work region or, if appropriate, by County. The announcement should note that essential service staff such as security, communications, direct care, and custody personnel should report to work if possible or call their offices. A written summary of the process and the announcements should be sent to the Director of the Bureau of Employee Relations to document actions taken. The Director of Maintenance and Operations is available to discuss road and storm conditions. D.O.T. personnel can be reached through the radio room.
Conditions are general and affect all employees within a region.
Conditions represent a severe hazard beyond those that a prudent person with normal driving skills can negotiate. A descriptive glossary for use by all decision makers is appended to this policy. Whether road conditions may or may not improve as the day progresses. Whether road crews in a region will be able to maintain roads in a reasonable condition in spite of the storm. Whether normal release procedures would seriously impact urban area roads and add to hazardous situations.
