Anyone a bit on the warm side today???!

[Saracen]

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that

During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable.

That is generally taken to mean between 16C (61F) and 24-25C (75F). If your work involves physical labour, then that lower temperatire may be 13C. There used to be a minimum (16C IIRC) that was actually defined but that legislation has now been superceded. You are also entitled to sufficient ventilation

6.—(1) Effective and suitable provision shall be made to ensure that every enclosed workplace is ventilated by a sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air.

Jeez, my kitchen used to be 120 F every night and around 90F in the day.... no wonder I got thru so much Lynx.

Kaillum's right there is NO legal limit for how hot it can get. There is a world health organisation advisary of 25°C but there is no legal limit. Just have to stick with it i'm afraid. But its lovely anyway, don't know why you need to complain about this lovely weather. At least your not outside doing manual labour in this. Then you really would be hot TiG
Thanks kaillum and tig for the info

I wish there was though as it feels inhuman having to work in those conditions, And yeah manual labour would probably kill me

Lucky sod i'd love to be able to work from home, those jobs must be hard to find arent then? so they pay well do they?

[tonicblue]

Pay is ok. Its web design and other web work for a modeling agency. So It is possibly the best job on the planet. Plus they are gonna pass my name on to loads of other people. Im already lined up to do a fashion designers site and a night clubs site. Most of my work will be in this area of clubs and models.

The only downside is it is sooooo easy to get side tracked. Oh well. its a small price to pay.

/Sits back in comfy chair and eats ice cream.

Yeah i think its a good sign when your assumptions change as it shows that you are a person who grows and does not stand still, i feel that life is full of lessons where you can decide to learn from them or not and you are learning all the time

What i do think is that whatever you write it will please you while you are writing it but later some of it you will not be as happy with, but thats what revisions of the books are for, and also follow ups.. just keep writing when you can and write too much then filter it down to a smaller bundle for printing.

[tonicblue]

Yeah thats cool. Thanks. I do Right what ever comes into my head when I have time and filter it down. You end up with a more solid out come. Oh well. I just gotta keep at it.
Thanks for taking an interest Raven

This is a Discussion on Temp at work....so unfortunately gentlemen I shall have to beat you both with EGH WHISKS for deviating from the allotted path


Seriously though.....what makes me laugh and then feel feintly sick is what Deckard said, and also what Sair suffers from....

ITS FOOD PREP AREAS that suffer from the highest temp problems..

Now HOW can that be good for anyone. Deckards kitchens were like furnaces....its the same eveyewhere you go...and this is FOOD prep and we all know that food needs to stay cool for health reasons until the last possbile minute.

And Sair works with food prep too...and that area of her work is the hottest in the building.....so go figure.

It makes me shudder, and I avoid Indian and Chinese restaurants and take-aways in the hot summer....

cos you just don't wanna know what its like in THEIR storage areas YEUCH
