Hi,

I am Safety Manager for a food production company and we are dropping the temperature in one production area to 5'C, am looking for advice on completing a risk assessment and what controls to put in place.  The info out there is a bit general, and no real legislation governing it. Would it be worth getting the ISO 15743:2008 Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Cold workplaces - Risk assessment and management, its a bit pricy though.

Regards

Hi

In the absence of any response I suggest you need specialist advice or perhaps refer to a standard. The HSE have only general advice but you may want to check it out - http://www.hse.gov.uk/temperature/index.htm

I am surprised there is not food industry information and guidance which you could refer to rather than posting your query on a forum.
