Water at work

[Jack]

There's a pipe burst down the road and afaik most, if not all, of the base has its water supply cut off. We've got no drinking water here, dunno about toilets. Don't really fancy laying one out then finding I can't flush the little package away :D

Are there any regulations that govern water supply to a workplace that I can abuse to my advantage and skive a day off? lol

Health & Safety at work states - You MUST have adeqaute wash and toiletary facilities :thumb:

You onto a winner. Pack ya' bags, yer off home early :D

[Smurf-Xx]

Yeah there should be, because you could become dehydrated from not having any drinking water and thats a risk to your health lmfao!! :D

As ghey as H&S is, its a legal requirement :D

H&S is soooooo ghey, it states "a fire extinguisher in full working order must be installed in all vehicles used on site" it also states "in no circumstances are you tackle a fire" lol

yes HASAW regs 1974 say something re ..employers must allow employees to adequate supply of clean safe potable water...

[Jack]

Arr, just as I found the H&S regulations about it they turned the water back on. Bugger, lokos like I'll have to be here all day :(

Ho hum, at least I can have my work poo safe in the knowledge I can flush lol
