Thanks for that, sounds similar to my thoughts. Do you send them home straight away if they fail or give them a chance to cool down and perform a re-test? It's getting warm out there and we may get false results. I guess if they fail consistently that is sufficient for them to get tested straight aw...

Has anyone implemented this and if so what process have you implemented regarding the safety of person taking the measurements (we're purchasing the IR forehead type testers), the safety of the test subject and procedure for retest or sending home etc?

I have always ignored them as I wouldn't call the work we perform construction. However, I cannot find anything that explains what constitutes constru...

The tender is in French and we are having it translated. I want to be really careful in translating it back to French. Can anyone recommend s...

Hi, I have looked on this forum for answers and ended up reading many interesting posts - wish I had visited sooner. I wonder if someone can advise on this...
