Complaint / Review
Salvation Army
Unsafe work conditions

I've been useful for the Salvation Army at their thriftstore for 7 years. I've reported several times concerning the hazardous and unclean situations many often. The shop is extremely early of course if OSHA arrived in they'd instantly shut the shop due to the problems. As an example the shop is saturated in form within the roof of the primary revenue ground, the wiring is uncovered everywhere, the shop is surrounded with a string size fencing and also the entrance has dropped off its monitors often including on me twice, once creating me to possess medical attention. The shop doesn't have heated water to help you clean both hands, including the clients, there's no disabled toilet and also the customers need to walk-thru the factory for toilet entry. This really is super-dangerous, I've dropped within the factory because of the unequal concrete ground and litter everywhere. The parking lot is terrible, saturated in big openings which clients and workers constantly journey on. While it rains the low end-of the parking lot is just a river, people should transfer their vehicles since the water moves almost on their tires. It has triggered the store to really ton on several ocassions since the water runs within the overhead door within the factory and moves directly into the shop.

The rat infestation is horrible, only recently I had been within the so-called breakroom along with a rat discovered the ground under on of the meals cabinents, plus they are all around the factory as well as in the primary purchasing part of the shop. Whenever you start the factory within the days and switch on the lamps within the factory you are able to view them operate. Imagine the garments, sneakers, simply anything continues to be crawled on by these rats and elizabeth need to place it out available and do not have heated water to clean our fingers and also the bad clients have no idea.

We've 1000lb apparel bales piled 3 large right where workers need to function and that I was there when one bunch dropped and knocked-out the rear wall of the factory, simply awaiting anyone to get murdered or critically hurt. The forklift driver isn't certificed and it is only a voluenteer, go figure.

That Is unfortunate they care so small for that people who function so difficult to help make the shop work with no help actually attempt to correct the problems. If people understood only 1 / 2 of the problems, unheated warehouse in below-freezing temperatures, big plateglass windows about the email shop that aren't security glass (I understand one or more is basically because I tripped on exterior control transporting a seat to some clients vehicle and went thru the screen) it had been changed with security glass. Simply needed to vent and that I am likely to OSHA and find out when they believe this can be a secure and healthful operating environment???
