Chapter 5.04 BUSINESS LICENSING AND REGULATION
Section 5.04.190 Working Conditions.
Health requirements: No owner, lessee, manager or superintendent
of any store, factory,
workshop or other place where persons are employed shall cause or permit such place, or any
room or part thereof, to be overcrowded or inadequate or faulty in respect to light, ventilation,
heat, or cleanliness.
All such places of employment shall be kept in a clean condition,
free from the effluvia of a
sewer, drain, privy, stable, or other nuisance; also as far as practicable, such premises shall be
free from all gases, vapors, dust, or other impurities generated by manufacturing processes or
otherwise which are injurious to health. Sufficient washroom facilities for male and female
employees shall be provided and such facilities shall be properly ventilated.
Heating requirements: It shall be the duty of every
person owning or controlling the heating
plant which furnishes heat to any factory or workshop, office, store or other place of
employment, to maintain a temperature within such factory or workshop of not less than sixty-eight degrees
(68) Fahrenheit without such undue restriction of ventilation as to interfere with
proper sanitary conditions therein at such times as employees are required to be on the premises
from October 1 of each year to June 1 of the succeeding year, Sundays and holidays excepted;
provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to any factory or workshop where the
business conducted therein is of such a nature that a higher or lower temperature than sixty-eight
degrees (68) Fahrenheit is necessary or expedient for the work or manufacturing process of such
business.
Inspections: The Building Commissioner shall visit
or cause to be visited all such places of
employment in the City as often as they shall deem necessary to ensure compliance with the
provision of this chapter, and to have such arrangements made as may be deemed necessary for
the health and safety of the employees.
