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

The cooling vests are something I should bring up in my next health and safety meeting! I doubt they'll buy them, but at least we'll have it on record that it was brought up lol

We used to have a purchasing agent that would buy water and stuff when it got really hot, but now we have one that argues about buying stuff we need to actually do our job let alone feel comfortable doing it lol

What's a few heat strokes of disposable employees when owners can get richer?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He literally threatened to move the shop because the town wouldn't let him build a helipad for himself lol

Rich people problems

Sure works be a shame if someone happened to post the name of this particular employer/company online. i know I sure wouldn't want to be purchasing their products or supporting someone who unnecessarily commutes via helicopter...

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Even if I shared the name "we" already don't buy from them, we make stuff for rich people and some military applications. It's a weird combination lol no weapons thankfully.

[–] Blooper@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's not speakers is it? Because we a... well, not rich, but not poor person, I may or may not pay to much for audio equipment.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 6 hours ago

Nope lol unless you own a yacht you're more than likely not looking for these things

A few hundred bucks of cooling stuff vs how many tens or hundred thousands if everyone keels over?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

These are the vests we have: TechNiche CoolPax. They're okay. I find the ice packs melt quickly and freeze slowly but they're good for temporary relief. My company initially bought these to be worn under hot PPE like hazmat suits, but even just having a bunch of ice packs in a freezer you can take out on the floor to hold onto could work.

Just did a stint at Lowe's and we had all the cold, bottled water we could drink. The cost is a no-brainer vs. even one heat-related issue. Use the words "worker's comp insurance" at that meeting!

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My mom has a similar situation at Home Depot, she actually said they finally adjusted the temperature when the customers complained. Naturally they couldn't care less about the employees, but at least they did provide water.

LOL! Thought about Home Depot, but the local store is clearly in worse shape and so are the employees.

And here's the thing, they don't have to care about employees. Worker's comp insurance is a big fucking deal, I know, worked for payroll place. One ding sets them back far more than 1,000 cases of water.

Only takes one or two employees to pretend to have heat stroke/exhaustion and get a work sponsored trip to the hospital to force a change in the working environment.

Really would be safer for everyone to have someone pretend rather than wait until someone actually has one.
