Temperature in the office

[MadMullah]

is there a legal status to what time an office should be at or regarding the comfort of a employee within an office??

some people feel hot and some people feel cold - i'm one that feels hot alot and i dont think my work place is being very accomodating to any reasonable request.

there's absolutely no air circulation in the office, they wont put the AC and the air is stuffy as hell.

they wont even let me bring in a small desktop fan

Why?

Is there an actual reason, or has your boss just said "No, you will roast, you are not allowed a fan" because he/she is a prick?

From what i can tell its because its not been tested on to be complient which i have offered to get done and pay for. the company are unwilling to buy such a thing for the use of staff - extra costs are incurred.

the attitude seems to be everyone else is fine so therefore it doesnt matter.

yeah but where i'm sat in an open plan office we hardly get any breeze/circulation.

even sitting next to the windows request has been declined.
