My office is freezing cold!!!!!

My office is freezing cold. Everyone is complaining. 9°C inside and the minimum temperature should be apparently 16°C but I don't see we are going home anytime soon.

My office was cold...till i turned my personal heater on.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Day off, heating on full, my digital thermometer is reading 27c atm, think I'll have a lazy nap now

 

[apatia77]

I managed to find a small heater now, I took it for my personal use, I don't care now about all the others around me complaining about freezing temperatures as my legs are warm now

My office is pretty cold. The bigger issue is my motivation to work (first day back after Xmas).

It must be 16c (or 13c if physical work) within one hour of starting work or you are entitled to go home.

It's too hot in my office.

Nice and warm in my office, the climate control is great here, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

The heating is broke in our office.

That is freezing for inside, surely there must be more than one heater around.

 

[Cosimo]

It's freezing here, the heating has failed.

Those are just guidelines and not enforceable by law though.

I thought it was law in the The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 although it states "reasonable" but since then the acceted temperature is 16C.

It would be very difficult for an employer to discipline somebody who refused to work in colder temps as they would lose.

Of course, the first approach the employee should do is ask their employer to rectify the situation. If that fails you can report them to the HSE for a breach.
