Can my manager make us work with no gloves for the second day now as a hotel housekeeper?

[FlyingRon]

Every employee is subject to the OSHA and California mandates when PPE is required. Biologic hazards are specifically called out as "other potentially infectious material" which is defined as any human bodily fluids. If you're cleaning bathrooms and personal linens, gloves would be advisable.

I haven't seen anything posted here that say the general duties of a housekeeper in a hotel are subject to any OSHA or California mandate requiring PPE.

Common sense is not an OSHA finding.

Yes but there was so much more and different catagories that those agencies would have a small scope of limited help that I was advised to search for a lawyer that could help with those additional issues .I was trying to get to those issues if you would please stop trying to end my conversation for me.

Well not you, but the other person who is posting

OK so what are the other issues?

Bringing her child to work. I almost tripped over him in the laundry room.

 

[Cookcook]

She is not even equipped to do manager duties , but she still is calling herself manager.

 

[Cookcook]

Shes not certified, no college degree, she is simply a "friend" of a higher up named "john"

For starters

For starters

There are no laws dictating that employers must:

• prohibit their employees from bringing their children to work; and
• hiring unqualified people (including friends and relatives) to perform managerial duties.

So you have no legal remedies for these issues.

For your own sake, you should probably buy some gloves to wear at work until you can resolve the safety issue with the employer.

Really?

eerelations replied about two specific legal issues. The reply had nothing to do with any other issues.
