Their is a casual dress code in the office that I work in occasionally (work from home mainly).

I was in two minds when casual dress became a feature in my company but I can't help thinking along the old school lines that, in the main, a casual dress approach leads to a casual approach to work !!

*sits back and awaits abuse*

Min 13-16 and max 30 celcius but when approaching the upper limits cooling ,ventilation and coolwater is usually provided and in the lower thermal clothingi.e.cold store or open warehouse/outside


Patric ,I have a water cooled fan sitting in the garage doing nothing if you want to borrow it and **** him/her off completely

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:


Anyway, I don't wear heels. well not at work...

Yup, just looked it up. Temperature has to be "resaonable" but that judgement's made on a case by case basis. Though interesting to note that what's resaonable for a bakery or furnace isn't what's reasonable for an office, sensible that.

Mac have you got a link to the max 30 celcius law ?

Our office is above a CNC Engineering plant and under a metal roof.
It's Kind being in a toaster. :lol:

I'm so pi**ed off about the way he talked to me. On top of that he is now saying he didn't shout. So now it's his word vs mine.

I rather send the health&safety people on his a**.

Having opened a few new buildings lately, I've had to deal with some grumbles about temperature.

Grumpy office worker, "It's roasting in here, why is there no air conditioning?"

Me, "This office is naturally ventilated."

GOW, "Whaasat mean?"

Me, "Open a window and think cool thoughts..."

GOW, " *****U rated site censorship rules apply****!!"

i run a trade counter for a flooring suppliers,when i have no customers i sit in the office and take calls.
our M.D is an old fashioned g*t and all the men have to wear trousers , shirt and tie..the girls wear pretty much what they want.
trouble i have is i spend a lot of time in the warehouse picking customer orders ,i usually end up getting filthy.
ive tried pointing this out to the guvnor whos basicly saying tuff...your on the front line dealing with the customers...bearing in mind that 99.9% of my "clients" are scruffy carpet fitters (if anyone here does this for a living please take no offence :roll: )
ive tried pushing for the casuals but he wont have it
oh well :lol:

Here as well. Shorts and t-shirts in summer and a shirt maybe if teaching medics (if they are lucky) :lol:
Ah.........freedom :lol:

Oh, except wednesdays when its 'nude day'.

Take in a thermometer. And use camera on phone if you have one to record the temperature when it gets too hot.

The picture will record date/time taken if you need proof for h&s people. :D

We have a dress code, nuff said. :wink:
