It's so fucking hot in my office

All the ladies moan that it's cold all the time, but it's not they're just mental.

Mr.K what are the heath and safety perameters for the temperature in an office?

They're simple
If you're not on fire it's too cold.

You're not allowed to heat it above 19C
Get a giant thermometer and tell them to put some bloody clothes on.

Hmmm...
"During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable."

Wow, thanks Health And Safety Executive Guidelines :\

It goes on to say not colder than 16c in an office, but no upper limit...

yeah, there is no maximum temperature,
otherwise chefs would never be able to work.

What about Ice-cream chefs?

Cold-area workers.
It's all ok with low temperatures if there's protective clothing provided.

Figured it was something like that.
And firemen.

That's bonkers
There should be a maximum level. Above that you must have protective clothing.

If my office were on fire H&S would be telling me that it's dangerously hot so there's a starting point of around 800 kelvin.

If the room is over a certain temp
you're allowed to take a break more often to avoid heat exhaustion. I don't know what the temp is, but when I was but a wee student working at McDonalds for beer-money, if you were working the grill, you got to take a quick drink break every half hour Or alternatively, you could complain viciously to get a desk-fan.
