One of our branches has moved into new office spaces and a number of staff have started complaining of headaches, I suspect it could be a lighting problem. Is there a formal stratergy for investigating issues such as this, if so how. I know there is a minimum temperature regulation, what aboutlow light - (meter readings?) etc. Im not sure what to do here, it could be the water/anything, or maybe our staff dont like their new office! Any help will be most useful

Simon - it could be any number of things - you need to check things like; air conditioning function; available light; reflective surfaces; heat; ventilation; any fumes from internal/external sources; fumes from overloading power source etc, etc - you also say that it is a new office - have new carpets been laid and were they laid with adhesive? - it is probably going to be a long process of elimination before you find a satisfactory answer (if at all)

no, my previous post concerned the office I work in.
As an organisation we have a number of offices accross Yorkshire, This particular office is new, and is a great improvement on the last. I shall be visiting the office next week to investigate the headache claims, and wondered what investagative techniques may be of use prior to any action required.

Don't forget the 'me too' syndrome in your investigation!
