Can anybody help me on minimum temperatures?

[Dan Dan]

Is there anywhere I can look up minimum temperatures as a customer in a bar/restaurant? I know I can choose not to be there. The temperatures are nearing freezing because the heating is broken (been broken for about 6 months).

I did try to google it but only got safe working temperatures and not as a customer.

Thanks

I'm pretty certain there is no such thing. After all there is or was an ice bar in London.

 

[Snaggle]

Yup no such thing

Do people work in that restaurant? Then you have the answer already

 

[Mynight]

I don't think there would be any as you have the ability to go elsewhere. Staff not so much.

6 months is an awfully long time to be stuck in one restaurant.

For staff I'm sure it must be above 16c in the building but as a customer I don't think there is a minimum temperature

 

[Begbie]

Doubtful, just don't go.

 

[bledd]

Call a plumber in to fix the problem, give your bosses name

 

[Whitewater]

Drink more. Take a coat.

 

[D.P.]

As said above, you can go drink in an ice bar, or go apres-ski drinking in an open-air bar when its -30*C.

I think the relevant legislation will be the "Factory Acts".

I haven't Googled it, But my recollection is that the minimum temp for employees is pretty chilly (55F ??)

Again, I haven't Googled it, but I don't think it apples to customers.

So Tough Titty! Be more Northern!

I work in a big office with mainly women and a few nesh men and Health & Safety (who sit to myright) just told them yesterday to put coats on if they are cold.
I have my fan on most of the day.

Many Stokies don't even have roofs on their homes, so you are used to the cold

For sedentary working conditions, the legal minimum is 16C.

For more physical work e.g. factories, then 13C is the minimum.

I just wish there was also a legal maximum. 27C+ in the office in summer time is no fun

 

[terley]

Actually minimum temperature is 5C
And there is no maximum

The 13-16C degree minimum is merely recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

Surely you can put a jumper on?

Lets talk about sexist air conditioning

It has been said that Computers did more for improving working conditions than any amount of activism.

(Computers need clean air and reasonable temperatures!)

Why should the heaters been turned on for women?

Women can put on a coat/jumper
Men cant take of their skin

I bet you're dead posh and have a roof and some walls.
I reckon you've got an inside toilet and a bath.

Why are Server rooms bloody freezing?
