"Sick " Building - Environmental Disorders Message Board

r and r mom · 09-05-2003, 06:14 PM

Hi! I work at a fairly new building (built 1995) and some of my workmates and my self are concerned with the number of ailments we have. There are about 40 employees and most are between 30 and 55 and active and fit.
* 3 Women with Rheumatoid Arthiritis
* 6 out of the 7 babies that have been born have serious medical conditions from Autism to Heart Failure
* Many women have had hysterectomies
* Serious chronic sinus conditions
Any way how do we go about having the building checked? Could we be fired for bringing this up to officials?
Any input would be helpful.

Since there are so many of you that are having the same ailments it does sound like it is coming from the building. Make sure you all keep a diary of your symtoms and how you are feeling before you go into work then while you were there. This is what I had to do when my workplace was the cause my illness.
