The rates in Table 1A above include and consume the "Industry Disability" allowance and the "Inclement Weather" allowance, (i.e. the rates in Table 1B continue to attract the "Disability Allowance" , Item 26, Table 2). Accordingly, the rates in Table 1A above compensate employees for working in the open in quarries and thereby being subject to climatic conditions such as dust blowing in the wind, sloppy and muddy conditions and the lack of usual amenities associated with factory work etc., and for the additional disabilities of being required to work when exposed to inclement weather and for working in isolated and underdeveloped locations. "Inclement weather" means wet weather and/or abnormal climatic conditions such as hail, cold, high winds, severe dust storms, extreme high temperatures or any combination thereof.
