Workplace Temperature and Conditions Grievance Form

When workplace temperature and environmental conditions affect employee health, safety, and productivity, having a formal reporting process is essential. This workplace temperature and conditions grievance form helps employees document concerns about workplace conditions that may not meet OSHA standards, impact their health, or require ergonomic intervention.

Why temperature and environmental conditions matter

OSHA recommends workplace temperatures between 68-76°F, but many workplaces struggle with climate control, creating uncomfortable or even unsafe conditions. Temperature extremes can lead to decreased productivity, heat stress, cold-related injuries, and exacerbated health conditions. This form creates a clear paper trail for HR and facilities teams to address these concerns systematically.

Built for HR, facilities, and employee relations teams

This template captures essential details including specific temperature readings, time of day patterns, affected work areas, health impacts, and previous attempts to resolve the issue. Conditional logic ensures employees can document different types of environmental concerns—from HVAC failures and drafts to inadequate heating or cooling—while requesting ergonomic assessments when workstation conditions contribute to discomfort.

The form also captures witness information, photographic evidence, and medical documentation when health impacts are involved, creating a comprehensive record that supports both investigation and resolution.
