During cooling and heating switch-overs, power outages, or unanticipated system breakdowns, you may experience temperature extremes in your office or building.
The Union would like to hear from you about your experiences with indoor working temperatures as part of our ongoing advocacy towards stronger protections for our members.
The University has created an indoor temperature policy and associated guidelines. As per the guidelines, for temperatures which do not reach the trigger point(s) for action, please speak with your manager to determine if alternate working arrangements can be made.
You can also take sick leave if the temperature extremes are making you feel unwell.
If the temperatures and your working conditions are not resolved to your satisfaction or you cannot get a timely response, we recommend emailing ehs@carleton.ca (Environmental Healthy and Safety) with a copy to cupe2424@carleton.ca.
