Thermal Temperatures for office admin in California?
Are there any laws or regulations that would require an office or company to maintain a certain temperature??
Example: AC unit is broken, costs $800 to fix. Company does not want to spend $. Asked for small window unit for around $300. Was denied by one person.
What if someone has a medical condition that becomes worse when it is extremely hot?
Not only is there a heat condition (currently 89 degrees inside this office, 99 outside. Other office on property is at 73degrees) we also have rats that die in our walls and with the heat the smell is horrid.
Is there anything I can read online or research? Ive tried and dont know where to look or who to ask.
Any info will be appreciated
Answers:
I would think the Health Department might be able to assist you especially with the smell of dead rats.
But I would go to the top boss or Human resources and tell them how hot it is in your office, that you need some type of air conditioner, if they don't fix it, I would get a note from your Doctor that states that the heat bothers your medical condition.
But, be prepared, they may lay you off, if they do, and it is related to this, you can sue - - I think, depends on where you live.
Good luck!
