Rank: Guest		Posted By NLR Can anyone please help me, we have staff working off site in an office with sealed glass windows to the front of the building, there is no way to open these. Is there anywhere in any of the regs that recommend ventilation for offices, I am construction based so have very little knowledge in this area. regards nigel

Rank: Guest		Posted By Breezy Workplace Regs 6 (1) would be the place to start. Also EH 22 (rev) "Ventilation of the workplace" and MDHS 73 "Measurement of air change rates in factories and offices". It's not an area I've looked at particularly as all our offices have at least had openable windows even when they've been stifling.
