I'll preface a little bit, the company I work for is contracted by a company to work at their site. My team works in a guard shack. We have internet, computers, restroom, and a few other quality of life things. I've started in May, hired as the supervisor, we've always had a supply of water bottles to put in our mini fridge. I was told today that was for the summer heat and their supply of water is low. In our contract, they are required to provide us with potable water other than a restroom faucet. My boss told me the restroom faucet is fine, but the literal piece of paper of our policy in my hand had in bold no restroom faucet. I was just talking with one of them this morning, they said “I wouldn't want to drink from the restroom faucet.” Me neither bro, I'm not drinking from the thing 2 feet from ass explosions that aren't mine. This has now somehow spilled into an HR related issue… because of water bottles. Seriously though, what the actual fuck… it's fucking water. I'm pretty sure most of us don't walk to our bathrooms to fill our glasses. If I somehow lose this battle, I'll walk and file an OSHA complaint. I have a previous post about this in another sub that has some more details. If anyone could help sending me links for relevant OSHA information, that would be greatly appreciated.
I currently have this from OSHA
