[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 5325434, member: 73381"] Are you referring to this section? I still disagree with it being an OSHA violation, UNLESS the heat is such that just being present in the building would be likely to cause death or serious bodily harm. If it's 100 degrees, and the trailers are like ovens, employees need to slow down. They need to step out of the trailers. They need to take breaks. We don't recognize UPS's production standards. As long as the employee is working SAFELY to the best of his ability, I don't think it matters if they go far far slower. I'm pretty sure any reasonable steward would defend an employee taking reasonable steps to avoid heat related injuries, and make sure management didn't harass them for it. [/QUOTE]
