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

    It's just TOO hot in my office and I'm sure there are some people far worse off.... what a nightmare

    Is there a legal limit for working temperatures? Productivity must be down by loads in this heat. We are all campaigning for air con!!

    Exactly what i was thinking, im sure it's illegal to work in this heat, i was at work today from 6am till 2pm filling cages with drinks, tins and jars. it was really heavy work and so hot i was feeling ill and yet we still had to work!!

    No air-conditioning in a giant warehouse, that was absorbing the heat like a greenhouse.

    It's almost like we have no rights nowadays!!

    Yep am sweating my nadgers off here. Good side is we have a huge (20ft high) walk in fridge for keeping reactive chemicals cold. Bad side is having to wear full face gas mask when dealing with them. Is a tad nasty when you start breathing your own sweat.
    Yours hot a stickly

    At 1pm .. my nice air conditioned office ceased to have power

    It's back on now but it's nearly 33c here in Cambs. I really feel for you guys without air-con. In the 2 and a bit hours we had no power, it got hot really quickly

    I have to go on London Underground tomorrow.... mmmm, that'll be nice! NOT!!! Couldn't do that everyday in the winter, let alone in this heat.


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    Not bad here, got 2 fans on in the office and the air circulation system is pretty cool

    I dont know the legal upper temp limit, but the legal lower limit is 13-14C, we got sent home from school middle winter once cause it was below that in our classrooms as the boiler was buggered.

    LOL @ Sair ice lollys... yeesh. Ur spoilt
    I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!

    iirc there is no legal upper limit for temprature in a working enviroment... there is a lower limit (cant remember what it is off the top of my head) at which they have to provide heaters/clothes etc...

    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

    I don't like the hot weather, sun and me don't go very well together. I venture out around 9pm when its cooler
