Title: How hot/cold before they send you home from work Post by: DaveShoelace on July 02, 2009, 08:42:54 AM My tarty bit keeps complaining her office is like a sweat shop (in fairness it is, she works in a small office above a printers with no windows and no air conditioning) and she insists the heat she is currently enduring must be against the law.
Anyone know if there is a minimum/maximum temperature workers should be expected to endure before it gets a health hazard? I work from home, she hates it lol Title: Re: How hot/cold before they send you home from work Post by: cia260895 on July 02, 2009, 09:05:34 AM Dunno bout how hot it has to be but i bet she isn't as pissd off as me right now,
I am working In a school in tottenham, my office is a metal container lined with plasterboard,ok up till 11 ish then its sauna time, cant do a lot the rest of the time as the bleeding kids are in school,only got 1 plumber when i should have 10 should be here not getting paid until next week if 1 of our main contrators pays up the 1/4 mill they owe all suppliers are on hold,contrators wont start until they get some £££'s up front ffs i hate the credit crunch but hey the women look pretty on the tube with their flowing little dresses Title: Re: How hot/cold before they send you home from work Post by: TheChipPrince on July 02, 2009, 09:10:09 AM 32 degrees Dave... Plus a humidity factor of 'fooking sweltering'
I remeber getting sent home from school lots in the winter when the bolier broke, tell her if it drops below 16 degrees she can go home early... Title: Re: How hot/cold before they send you home from work Post by: Jon MW on July 02, 2009, 09:11:18 AM IIRC there is a minimum temperature but there is no maximum temperature.
And the heat she has will be nowhere near as hot some other workplaces - industrial kitchens for example - so you should tell her to stop whinging and count herself lucky. I don't see how that plan can possibly fail :)up Title: Re: How hot/cold before they send you home from work Post by: phatomch on July 02, 2009, 09:22:53 AM correct under h/s rules there is no maximum working temp, what we used to do is get the phines directed to our mobiles and forward all emails then work from home all you need to do is take the cpu home if you need your work computer.
