Reply to comment by smokey0324 in Working In Retail Without Heat? (Extra Characters) by nesquiksand2

I also read this, "You do not have to endure an unsafe office environment. If the office is so cold you can see your breath and there's no reason for it other than a lack of heat, that could be considered a violation."

But it could be different because it's not an office? It's one thing if it was a large factory or something, but another if it's retail, maybe? That's really where my question lies.

I'd say no, there is no requirement. But if you feel there is call n ask

The rules are written like that because some people work in freezers or the like in the food industry. So it's slightly ambiguous. Reading has an option on the city app to report a building for No Heat.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Thought I'd just bring it up and ask. Thanks.
