yeah it's an arrissing line, so annealed glass is coming offToughening plant?
the walkway seems to have only been painted in to make the room look more pretty, there's another walkway behind the machine that goes from one end of the room to the other, i think this area should be a working area and not a walking area as you can't turn a 1.5+ metre length around without going onto the walkwayHave a look at this: http://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/workplace.htm
He has to provide you with "enough" room space and "suitable" workstations - you'll need to have a grown up discussion with him about whether your workstation is suitable and there's enough room. On the other hand he has to keep the walkways clear as well.
thanks, i'll fill that in and find the H+S rep on my shift, and yes it is a tight gap considering my shoes are nearly 30cm long, so that gives me 25cm of room to get out of the way of breaking glassThis would be manual handling mainly, perhaps with a general dose of H&S.
The problem there is that there is significant scope for opinions when you do your manual handling assessment (http://www.hse.gov.uk/msd/mac/) or a broader risk assessment.

Some people probably wouldn't fit in a 55cm gap!
