Location: Nevada. Fire Alarm Was Broken And Was Going Off For Multiple Hours At Place Of Employement. Management Told Us To 'power Through It' And Continue The Work Day. Most Employees Needed To Seek Medical Attention After.
Hello. Location: Nevada.
Pretty much what the title says.
We open for the day, fire alarm is going off. Fire dept came during the night to address the issue and cleared the building. They went to turn the alarm off but property management had changed the keys to access the area that they needed to get to to do so.
This fire alarm is fucking LOUD. Like physically painful in the ears loud in the moment. So we wait outside until property management comes to turn it off. About an hour wait.
2pm rolls around and it goes off again. Fire dept checks that its a false alarm. Over the next hour, management was saying we COULD NOT leave the building nor could we close the doors to save the hearing of our clients. We were specifically told in writing to 'power through it'. No ear protection, we were stuck from 2pm to 2:50pm before someone agreed to let us close and get out of the store. Two employees were required to stay in the store and one of them is experiencing more extreme symptoms than the rest of us as she was exposed to it for over two hours.
We all have ear pain, headaches, ringing in the ears, and some have experienced nausea and other symptoms.
Is there anything we can do? Im concerned that we have a malfunctioning fire alarm and that management actively told us to stay in an environment that lead to most of the staff seeking medical attention.
Any help is appreciated.
