What is the recommended temperature in the general work area?

1. 55 degrees F to 60 degrees F

2. 68 degrees F to 73 degrees F

3. 80 degrees F to 85 degrees F

4. 90 degrees F to 95 degrees F

The correct answer is: 68 degrees F to 73 degrees F

The recommended temperature in a general work area is 68 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason for this is that this temperature range is considered to be most comfortable for people to work in, balancing out the needs of both those who tend to prefer cooler temperatures and those who prefer warmer temperatures. Option A is too cold and could potentially cause discomfort for some employees or lead to illnesses. Option C and D are too warm and could cause discomfort, fatigue, and decrease in productivity. It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature in the workplace for the well-being and productivity of employees.
