Question from sereia
Do I have any rights as an employee to not be exposed to toxics? The owner of the building where I work has scheduled to have the building tented for termites. I’m very concerned that pockets of gas may remain in my office, especially since I work in a windowless office.
I am also very concerned about the residual effects of the tenting. I have forwarded info I’ve gleaned on the dangers of tenting to my employer, as well as alternatives. If my employer does not forward this info to the building manager I will approach the building manager myself. If they do not chose a safer alternative, does any one know whether I have any rights, other than to quit my job?
