32 degrees outside, me being a tub of lard (wearing the company balck uniform) was sweating buckets

Inside the van, 44degrees

Been out in this heat since 9am this morning, just got in (4pm) and i dont think i could cope doin this again.

Not to mention im a beretroot colour

So whats the legal temp your allowed to work in outside??? or does it only cover office workers indoors

 

As im aware tillio only applicable indoors tho adequate refreshment breaks have to be given at the employer discretion hope that helps may not be completly right not been shop steward for a while now and the law may/could have changed

peace

 

I think its 30 degrees, new law brought in for this summer.

I've just got back from work, its not the heat that kills me, its the suits that we have to wear to protect us from the resins.

27 degrees where I was today, about 40 inside the suit!

Also the humidity plays a big factor in how hot you feel. It was 65% today inside!

 

There is no upper limit for Engineering companies, just a lower limit. Dont know about outside working

Have a look here for full details

14C 58F is legal factor now.

If you work outside, companies are now obliged to provide such things as sun lotions etc with regular breaks and adequate fresh water supplies

 

Check out this for hot, was taken of me during the hottest day ever recorded last year

I'm on the left! Is this too hot?

 

i work in a hopsital and there isnt and maximum temperature, but there is a minimum.


when it is HOT HOT, we complain, but to get around this they supplied some fans and a water dispencer.....oh like thats gonna fooking cool me down

 

when i used to work in a hotel kitchen washing up it was average 45 degrees c

thats fookin hot!

 

You guys should try working in a ship engine room like me. 45 degrees is 'average'.... When you're in the Red sea, or worse, the Persian Gulf, it's more like 55................. I have to change my coveralls 4 or 5 times a day due to sweat. Salt replacement tablets, buckets of water.......................... Hell. But, who cares cos they pay me to do it. And the work is a tad physical.....
