The residents at the nursing home have put in a complaint that the dining room is too cold.
Management has now forbidden the use of the air conditioners in the dining room. Jenny is concerned
that this makes the environment unsafe for the workers. The staff all get extremely hot while serving
the meals. It is always a very busy time and they are running around getting the residents in place,
serving meals, assisting with feeding, packing up the dishes and so on. Jenny notices that some of
the staff are getting uncomfortable. Ian had sweat pouring off him yesterday and Rebecca was bright
red in the face. By the end of mealtimes, they are all hot and bothered.

Should Jenny report this as a WHS issue to management?
Select one:
True
False
Yes
