Worker in Ontario Question

I work in one of the biggest retail stores in the country (mentioning this to show how cheap they are) but I was just curious on my right to refuse work based on unsafe conditions. For more detail I’m a sales rep and my department store is multilevelled. The bottom level houses the groceries while the second level houses electronics and all non-food related items. Essentially the store runs the ac on the lower floor where the groceries are but not on the upper level as they’re too cheap to fix it on the upper level. Can I legally refuse to work as it is too hot to be on the sales floor? (Good to note that the management team’s office and work area are on the same level as the groceries.
