91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.
The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."
Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol
Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol
It's like that here in Germany too. They have a legal lower temperature limit, but otherwise it's just "if it's hot you have to give your employees water."
It will be 40C next week. No AC in my office.
I definitely feel for you guys in Europe, a lot of tough arguments to be had with employers coming up... If I understand correctly AC isn't that common because it historically hasn't been as necessary as it has been in the US. The future unfortunately is looking to make it necessary pretty much everywhere :(
I worked in plastic extrusion for nearly a decade.
The front of the line would be about 85, but the back of the kine, where the work was, hit 110°F to 120F° in the summers.
Absolute hell
Luckily my ambulance has AC. Here's our top temp from yesterday:
As someone living in the equator where sun is fucking angry at us everyday, 32°c indoor is toasty, and 34°c indoor is torture. You should report to the authority and let them know.
Unless you work near furnace of course.
Wait until you see 41°C.
(Atleast i was home when it was 40°C. Otherwise i'd be literally cooked.)
I was in Venice at 41C with 90 percent humidity. It was like trying to breathe underwater.
I hope that also isn't 80% humid, that is literally spa.
This is America, what authorities give a damn about how hot you are? If there was one, I'm sure Musk'n'Trump got rid of them.
~~Unless i missed it, OP didn't mention being in America though, and judging from the instance they might be from Netherlands.~~ whoops, really missed it. Also like the other person said, OSHA.
OSHA probably cares.
The company should care, because if the workers are dropping off because of heat stroke, they're not creating value for the shareholders.
But, but, they sometimes hand out freeze pops in hot weather! How much more can you want?
What state has that law? Or is it national? Or outside of the US?
Outside of an actual climate controlled storage unit (IE a giant fridge/freezer) every warehouse or shop I've ever been in for any reason had zero climate control and not even any insulation. Concrete base, with thin courrugated steel walls/roofs mostly. Shits like an oven, since it ends up being even hotter in the building than it is outside.
I am in California.
I'm in NY and that's the language I was able to find in the states laws regarding factory conditions, but it's not really regulated since their only stated "metric" is a completely vague, subjective amount: "reasonable."
Nowhere in the language do they define reasonable, and when I reached out to my "representative" asking for clarification they never responded, naturally lol
If you can reach out to a local expert, there's probably an assumed standard for "reasonable" that the state goes by. Vague laws like that frequently just mean that you use the standard set by an administrative admin or the courts.
I also work in a factory but our temperature is largely unregulated with the exception of offices, break areas and certain departments where the stock needs to be kept away from too much humidity (so, even in those departments it's humidity control not air conditioning). In the winter it's cold enough that we've had pipes freeze in the center of the building and in the summer it's normal to see 100 degrees at 3am. It's too bad I don't live in one of those states where it's "regulated" because I think anyone would say those temperatures are unreasonable.
I was riding on a bus today where the temperature was 38c(101f). I only sat on it for like 40 minutes and i felt like fucking soup after, imagine having to be the bus driver. High temps like this are extremely dangerous actually.
