How hot is your office?
 

It's currently 30 degrees in ours and zero fresh air flow, there are fans.. THe plan was to work in the server room today but the air con broke on the weekend and it was 55 degrees this morning. :lol:

its about 24' with the patio doors and front windows open... far hotter if you go outside in the sun....

35 degrees in my workroom, no windows, no fans........... and i've got to have a hot air gun going now for over two hours to finish this part of the job today ............ happy days :cry:

There is no legal max temperature at the moment. Unions have been trying to address this matter for a long time.

This is from 2005 refering to attempts made in 2002 to resolve the issue.
The TUC says nothing has changed since 2002 and its demands remain the same. Roasting offices cause a lack of concentration and nasty accidents, with slips and trips the major injury, it says. And prolonged concentration at a VDU in a heat wave will have workers stressed, tense, exhausted and probably suffering headaches and eye strain. It also warns that irritability raises the incidence of violence.
For those doing manual work, the thermal threats are said by the TUC to be even worse: fatigue, extra strain on the heart and lungs, dizziness and fainting, or heat cramps due to loss of water and salt. Hot, dry air can increase the risk of eye and throat infections, and breathing problems such as asthma and rhinitis.
TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said today: "Employees should not have to suffer in sweat at work. There is a legal responsibility on employers to make their staff safe but this should be backed up with a legal limit on how much heat workers have to bear."
The TUC wants a maximum working temperature of 30oC (86oF) – and 27oC (81oF) for those doing strenuous work. When the heat hits the maximum, employers should reduce the temperature. It recommends fans or air conditioning. Workers whose exposure to heat cannot be reduced should be provided with adequate breaks and offered job rotation, it suggests.
Using the underlined ask for more fans if not hit the boss and blame it on the heat :lol:

mines barely 20! would be lower if the moaners didn't keep turning off the air con!

about 19 its nice

Working from home has its' advantages. I have the patio doors open with a humidifying fan in the room just for good measure! Might go and get the sun lounger in a minute for a bit of r'n'r!!;):lol:

Was a steady 8 in my van today. I hate offices.

Wasn't happy today - temp in the van reached 10. Nearly had to take my jacket off.

Air con playing up??:lol:

Hello gay boy!
Was disgusted with it. I mean, 10 degree's! What's the world comin too when there's 3 air con units in 1 van and it still reaches double figures?!?

my office is my bedroom and is nice and cool:p

If i let you bum me, no strings like, will you take me racing on Sat? You need a better van BTW!

i run a chip shop. Fans and aircon dont work where you are frying. Probe said 48 degrees. Do i win?:eh?:

It's not a competition, but yeah you do! Lol:lol:

No biatch, I is in coventry or birmingham or somewhere shit like that. Maybe the week after if it's on

That'll do me darling, you have my number?

Gave up today and brought in my big air cooler and filled it up with iced water. :D

its 30 in my office, mind you I can go anytime I like when it gets too hot. Being the boss does have some advantages.:p

its sweaty pig territory in here - we did have air con but it got upgraded at great cost and over many weeks. It got turned on and prompty burnt out the main wire coming into the building. oops!
So it's been left off for months now until we get a new bigger electricity wire coming across into the building. Joy.

What really adds to the fun is the sheep tannery place down the road - the lovely smell wafting in through the open windows. Yum.
