Is there such a thing as too hot to work?
|
I work at a Sonic Drive In. This place is absolutely falling apart....The ice cream and slush machines leak all over, the hot water is hot enough to send you to the hospital if you're not careful, the roof leaks all over us every time it rains, the list goes on and on... While all of that is hard to deal with, the worst part is that the a/c is not working. I know that a/c is a luxury and is probably not required by law, but this is killing us! It was 95 degrees in there at 6pm when the outside temp. was in the upper 60's. I don't even want to think about how hot it will be when the outside temp. reaches 80, 90, or even higher! I'm sure I could tuff it out for the summer, but I'm really concerned about the two pregnant women we have there who work 40+ hours a week! Is there anything we can do, or do we have to deal with it? Yes, I know we could quit.....

There are regulations that have the weight of law regarding conditions in the workplace. These are set by Occupational Standards and Hazards Agency (OSHA). You need to look up those rules that might apply to your situation. Heat stress is a real hazard, especially to pregnant women.
It sounds like your Sonic is a candidate for a visit from the local health department, at the very least.
Good luck. |

And that's all. OSHA and the Department of labor have no specific requirements for minimum or maximum temp's. |

File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau
or the pregnant women can get doctors notes and take their leave early. |
