Random health-related/possibly legal question

[(Anonymous)]

At what point is a high temperature inside a workplace potentially hazardous to an employee whose job involves moderate exertion?

Re: Random health-related/possibly legal question

[(Anonymous)]

The short answer is - there is no legal maximum working temperature per say. OSHA recommends that employers set the thermostat between 68 and 78 degrees. Also, OSHA regulations come into play when temperatures reach an extreme level to the point where dangerous conditions like heat stress or hypothermia can occur.



So.... I would say if you are sweating excessive and are unable to keep up your hydration then its dangerous

Alright, from a purely physical standpoint, this is going to vary widely from person to person and will also depend on things like humidity, airflow, etc.

However, things tend to get dicey for most people once the "real feel" temperature hits around 90F. Over 100F and you're in "flirting with heat stroke" territory.

"Legally" is opening a whole other can of worms. In the US, at least, federal regulations are of the "workplace temperatures should be appropriate" variety. Individual state Department of Labor requirements may be more specific. And, if a reasonable person would conclude that your workplace is far too hot to be worked in safely, you would be protected under the "General Duty" clause of OSHA. (That's the catch-all "we're not going to make a rule against roller skating backwards down the stairs, but if you make your employees do that we can penalize you for being an idiot" clause.)

What sort of high temperatures are we talking here? There's a pretty big difference between 78 degrees and 88 degrees, for example.

It's difficult to say for an individual employee - for example, someone who is paraplegic or has thyroid issues will have problems in places that are perfectly safe for others. And some individuals just run hot or cold. But most countries (or states or provinces) have guidelines on this and you should be able to look them up. Usually there's guidelines to say if temperature is over X degrees there needs to be more breaks, water available and shade available.
