Shorts in work during hot weather
#7
I drive a bus transporting the elderly and disabled to and from day centres. Oh did I forget to mention the whole bus only has ONE opening window! Granted its the cab window next to me but it does nothing. No roof lights, no windows, no extractors. Mine is fitted with a air-con of sorts but it doesn't even take the edge off the heat. I even have a fan strapped to the floor at the back just to make it a little more bearable for my passengers.
   

I swear the bloody things are greenhouses on wheels!

Was up in someone's loft today, must have been 40+ degrees, and I had to be fully uniformed for it, including the hi-vis vest. There's guys getting sacked at the mo for failing on-site audits and not following H&S guidelines.. so no choice really.

I used to work doing sky installs, but seeing as was my bro-in-laws company we maybe did bend H&S a bit, but I do totally sympathise with you on the loft issue, used to hate doing the distribution kits in summer was a total killer, and was a trade off of combats or shorts & itchy legs from the insulation that gets everywhere!
