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

    You’re not alone! I worked 12 hours in 37°C (99°F), 47% humidity yesterday. However, we get essentially unlimited breaks in an air conditioned break room, have cooling vests filled with ice packs we can wear on the floor, and are supplied with sports drinks and feeezies. Your work can’t really make the world less hot, but they can work with you to avoid development of heat related illnesses!

      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?

            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…

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