Rank: Guest		Posted By Crim I did some work on this a long time ago and I seem to remember the Workplace Regs 92 had a formulae based on room size including height divided by a constant number which gave the maximum number of persons allowed. Can't remember exactly but you will find the answer there.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Thomas Kennedy I expect you will now know how to calculate the minumium space for the workspace but a common question is how do you know its "sufficent"? After all we know minimums are rarely comfortable i.e. the minumum indoor temperature of 16 degrees C is too cold for most of us! While not legal requirements, here are some 'rules of thumb' published by the Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA). The British Institue of Offices publish similar design guidelines. I’d suggest you go on these floor areas. •secretarial work area: 7m2 per person •open plan office floor area: 9m2 per person •executive work area: 17m2 per person Hope it helps. Tommy

Rank: Guest		Posted By Paul Darby Am I being daft? What about Regulation 10 of the Workplace Regs 92 that state 11 cubic metres per person. The ACoP gives a rough (simple) calculator and a bit of guidance on how to take furniture etc into account.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ashley Wood Don't forget the fire regulations. These differ from the work place regulations. An office area worker is 6 m2 under the Approved Document B Fire legislation.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Gff 11 cubic meters is correct, however the other poster did state m2 so you still have the third dimention of height to add in at a max of 3m ceiling height, you dont count anything above that
