Safe working conditions

[jont]

Having spent 2006 roasting alive in the offices we have recently installed air conditioning. Part of the unit has just dropped through the suspended ceiling causing:

* water to spill everywhere
* 2 live wires dangling in free space
* compressed ceiling tile exploded far and wide
* motor hanging just above head height on twin and earth cable
* all trousers to be filled with unpleasantness due to the loud crash

We have turned off the air conditioning and isolated the electrical supply.

The engineers are 4 hours away and we have had to open the windows to get some air. Does this constitute a breach in working conditions and can I have the rest of the afternoon off?

can I have the rest of the afternoon off?

Certainly...and take tomorrow morning off, too

do you go through a lot of bins, G?
you must have an endless supply of replacements with all the damage you must cause kicking them over

Ever considered anger management?

Thats an ambition actually, to be paid for working in football. As a part-time coach or something even. Not sure if a brown envelope containing a printed copy of the `v8 for FootballHeads` manual would count Jonty.


*kicks over waste bin, cleverly swerving it out through the open doors, finally landing on the blonde bird from next doors head... oops!*

this air conditioning thingy thats just gone belly up big time, check on the packaging, its probably got the "airtinic V8 version " label on somewhere, contact the makers, see if theres any free support going !

I also note, youve already raised the issue on the forum to see if there are any other known issues with the aircon units (tommorow morning may bring results - dont give up yet).

can you ascertain if this massive problem is in your version only, try stepping back to an earlier version, open a window (v7) and see if you get the same issues - if you don't then theres a safe bet its only this version thats an issue - thanks for warning the rest of us.

one last thing, do you have a snapshot, if you don't then the chances of anything coming out of this mess is greatly reduced.

Obviously you just didn't RTFM, and had you searched before posting you would have found many recent post describing exactly the same thing you were asking. It can't possibly be anything to do with the product, but the way you are using it.
