Hayley, Any rodents in a building can adversely affect indoor air quality and cause other obviuos problems as well. Dead animals, nests, and food all can add bacteria and molds to the air, as well
Debbie, This is a case for an attorney. The store should reimburse you for any expenses related to this. They have liability insurance for these types of incidents. You should have reported the incident
Sharita, Doctor's type masks have no place in industrial cleaning operations. Your supervisor should be providing you with the proper respiratory and body protection for the hazards at your workplace
Linda, Without knowing much more about the work situation and the space involved, I can't give you much specific advice. You can contact your physician, especially if you have sensitivity to these
James, I'm very sorry to hear this - my sympathies. You should contact the OSHA office in the city nearest to where the event occurred. They probably won't release many details until their investigation
