If you want to communicate with me confidentially as Donna Ballman, Florida lawyer rather than as Donna Ballman, blogger, my firm's website is here. The agency that regulates workplace safety is OSHA. If your workplace temperature has reached dangerous levels, OSHA might be able to help. In general, though, there’s no law saying how hot is too hot. is that temperatures at work be kept between 68-76° F with humidity control in the range of 20%-60%. However, don’t call OSHA if your boss sets the A/C at 66 or 78. They don’t regulate workplace temperatures unless it becomes so hot it’s dangerous to workers. If you think your workplace is hot, think about these industries, which OSHA points to as of particular concern for heat-related illnesses: iron and steel foundries, nonferrous foundries, brick-firing and ceramic plants, glass products facilities, rubber products factories, electrical utilities (particularly boiler rooms), bakeries, confectioneries, commercial kitchens, laundries, food canneries, chemical plants, mining sites, smelters, steam tunnels, farm work, construction, oil and gas well operations

, asbestos removal, landscaping, emergency response operations, and hazardous waste site activities. It’s doubtful your office is reaching temperatures as hot as those super-hot workplaces, but if you live somewhere where temperatures are over 100° F, your office could possibly become dangerously hot. OSHA has a heat index it uses to help guide employers on how to take measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. Over 103° F and it’s time to take serious precautions. Over 115° F, and employees will drop like flies. If your office is suffering a heat-related emergency, OSHA suggests making everyone aware of how to contact emergency rescue services, having clear directions to the worksite readily available so they can be given to rescuers, and having heat-related first aid instructions available for workers to assist while waiting for the ambulance. If your company hasn’t made arrangements, take it upon yourself to become prepared if you are encountering excessive heat at work.

OSHA also offers guidelines for monitoring workers in hot workplaces to make sure they aren’t becoming overheated. Techniques include regular measuring of weight (for water loss), temperature and heart rate. Now that you realize your workplace probably isn’t dangerously hot, you might want to look at bringing in fans, drinking lots of water, putting a cool, wet cloth on your forehead from time to time, and thanking your lucky stars you don’t work in a foundry or bakery. components of a central ac unitIf your workplace is dangerously hot, you can contact OSHA and ask for an inspection. non window unit air conditionersIf you report dangerous working conditions to OSHA, you are a whistleblower, legally protected from retaliation. samsung window air conditioner models

Steiner + Associates’ project, Easton Town Center, was named one of the “Top Five Most Innovative Malls in the World” precisely because it ushered in a new generation of dynamic lifestyle centers energized by dense streetscapes and opportunities to live, work and play. However, without dynamic restaurant tenants and aspirational retail tenants and a prime location, the model collapses. Liberty Center will feature an ideal tenant mix of local and national, first-in-market and best-in-market retailers offering items visitors “want” and “need” as well as dining options showcasing old favorites alongside new experiences.

Anchor tenants Dillard’s, DICK’S Sporting Goods and Cobb CinéBistro as well as Pies & Pints embody this approach. Thanks to an ideal location in the middle of the Dayton-Cincinnati Metroplex, the logistic advantages of a new highway interchange at SR 129, adjacent and close-by institutions like Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and on-property audiences living in residential units and staying at the AC Hotel by Marriott, literally millions of people will have the opportunity to sample Liberty Center’s unique retail and restaurant offerings.
