Guest Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I made it up But, no.......... Whilst there is a legal minimum temperature for indoor workers (it's 16°C, or 13°C for strenuous work), there isn't actually a minimum for people working outdoors. However, this doesn't mean that people who work outside are totally unprotected from the extremes of the UK climate. Under Health and Safety regulations, your employer owes you a 'duty of care'. This means that they are responsible for ensuring you don't have to work in unsafe or unhealthy conditions. Continuing to work in extreme cold could well constitute a breach of this duty of care.

no balls Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I might have to sue myself. I would say your duty of care is to ensure you provide the correct PPE & in this weather that's got to be a cropped wife beater & denim hot pants with open toed, sling backed riggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 When I were a lad I used to clean the oven panels at Warbies when it were on full pelt on days like today. Definitely no maximum for indoors I tell thee. Used to sweat buckets all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no balls Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It was nice enough to swim in the outdoor pool early doors but it looks like it might rain at some point. We are off to Batley later though & the BBC tells me it's belting over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Outdoor pool? This Walter Mitty-style braggadocio about Horwich has got to stop now, outdoor pool indeed*... Condensation on the indoors of bedroom window in rural Great Lever, usually means one thing (not an early wankathon either) - the best of summer is probably over. * I know you meant the gym/health club, or did you?

Youri McAnespie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I do, I mentioned I was up around Crowthorn t'other week, where the real millionaires have their pads. I don't live in da hood anymore, not for a long time, I live back in the leafy part, where the new-money cotton and engineering men used to build their grand houses. I'm five minutes from greenery and five minutes from Bolton Station car park - best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
