WCB policies regarding cold air vent causing a chest cold. Management never did anything to solve the prob?

Question

Inquiring whether there are any policies for complaints put in at a work place where cold air vents cause people to get sick. Is there anything in the WCB guidelines about this???

Answer 1

Management probably never did anything because cold air does not cause chest colds. Cold air doesn't make you sick. Getting wet and cold doesn't make you sick. Getting too hot doesn't make you sick. In order to get sick, you have to be exposed to a bacteria or virus. You may have been uncomfortable but, if you got a chest cold, the cold air wasn't the cause. I don't think you have a complaint.
