Ferkin Freezing

[timwilky]

Well when I moved into this office which is an annex to a factory, I was told it was cold in winter. Last week they issued me with an electric radiator. Now I am sat here with my coat on. But my legs are freezing. There is cold air rising from the floor that the radiator is doing nothing for. I am willing to bet it is warmer outside than in here.


Time to dig out the thermals.

Stopped taking my thermals off on arrival to work now, not much point. Been here over an hour and still cant feel my feet. oh well only 4 more months of it to go.

There is no maximum working temperature stated within the Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations... but regulation 7 (1) states

'During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable'...'The temperature in work rooms should provide reasonable comfort without the need for special clothing'.

The very very MINIMUM is 16 Celsius for a typical office environment, and its a legal requirement for a thermometer to be present in each area of the workplace.

You could be on to something there, I know when the boiler packed up at previous work place we were all sent home as the temp had dropped to 14 degrees.
We didnt get paid for hte missed days work though, so its not all rosey.

We used to get complaints on a hourly basis. Excuse for as above but used to use the temp probes to prove the temp

I have a fluke infrared laser thermometer, gadgets always make people feel secure

Problem is desk workers are sitting on their 'arris and it will always feel cold as they're not doing enough moving to keep themselves warm...
