Cold Storage Working
Started by Dejay, Oct 11 2010 08:28 AM
Hi All,
I have just been thrown in at the deep end over the weekend and now have the repsonsibilty of looking after staff working in a Cold Storage facility.
Does anyone have any information on working times in cold storage facilities, rest times and what the employer has to provide.
I am in the process of carrying out a risk assessment as we speak.
Regards
Dejay

Dear Dejay,
I presume by Cold Storage you mean below -18degC ?
Yr post suggests that your facility presently has no guidance SOPs at all ? Truly ?
It is possible that the answer may also depend on the type of goods in the CS ?
No doubt covered by the encyclopedic web of HMSO / H&S (? / Unions in UK.
I await responses with interest though I can remember there hv been general threads on regulations / working conditions in UK factories previously on this forum regarding topics like workroom temperatures ( mostly the opposite problem - heatwaves

Just did a google search, does this help?

Look like there are some good references which would be worth following up.
