We are to build a new College and I am seeking advice as to whether or not we are required to have thermometers in all rooms. Regulation 7(3)Workplace Health Safety and Welfare Regs. "A sufficient number of thermometers shall be provided to enable persons at work to determine the temperature in any workplace inside a building"
Ideas on what is sufficient?
Thanks George

Unless there are specific reasons e.g. lots of IT equipment, high solar gain etc. I would normally only position thermometers at suitable intervals in the corridors rather than in the classrooms themselves. There are precedents

Except in areas where constant temperature monitoring is essential for either the requirements of work operations or reasons of health and safety as determined by risk assessments, I would only expect a portable thermometer to be readily available within each building at a known location - for free use by both management and staff/staff representatives.
