Hmmm. I'll go and look it up. All I know is that in the 100 or so serviced office buildings that we do interior design for, we specify no appliances other than a kettle.

Well, the regs are a little vague on this one, so I think it's just my company being paranoid about it.

I asked the question on the IOSH website (The organisation for H&S proffesionals).
I'm registered from my former days as a H&S officer (we didn't cover fire though, that was accomodation).

Two responses so far and both think its nonsence.

A pint of vodka served me fine, circa 2001-2004 :)

And it'll give all your colleagues something to smile at! :)

Yeah yeah. You use to drink alot etc. etc. We know. Want a medal?

Please move along, these aren't the droids you are looking for, move along, move along.
 
Try this. It takes a bit of time investment at the start, but it saves a lot in the end.

Make a granola, and then make it up with fruit juice and water, or even herbal tea. Warm it up if you want it warm, eat it cold if you want it cold. Add dried fruit and seeds and nuts.

I make up my own granola, change the recipe as the mood suits me, add spices in the winter. I make a gluten free version. It stores well in a tupperware type box for months and months.

Granolas have quick release sugars for that essential first-thing burtst, and also slow release sugars. It keeps me going for about 3 or 4 hours, depending on what I'm doing. I don't even feel peckish.

Interesting - I'll try and get to the bottom of it :)

More answers that say its rubbish.

Although one guy reasons that if it is one of microwaves that grills you should enclose it as part of a fire risk assessment action.

Another guy recommends it if you work with anyone from Brianiac as they are forever blowing up microwaves.
 
Banana sandwich :) You can assemble it at work to stop the nana going brown. Take two slices of brown bread, one buttered, and a banana into work; when you get hungry, mash up the banana and smear it onto the buttered bread, top with the other slice, eat.

Mmmm I've made a few of those in my time.
Also apple sandwiches, which no one else seems to get.
 
Does yoghurt make you phlegmy too? I know some dairy-intolerant people who can handle yoghurt. Some museli type stuff in yog is a really nice brekkie. For the deluxe treatment, I use the Dorset Cereals stuff with some of that nice organic coconut yog. Dreamy.

People are intolerant of differing compounds in dairy, Most commonly, it's the lactose (sugar part), but it may be the casein (protein part).

Yoghurt is fermented, meaning that the sugar has been used up by the bacteria, so some people who are lactose intolerant can eat yoghurt.

Not everyine who is intolerant of dairy gets phlegmy - symptoms can vary greatly between individuals.
 
Hmm i've never tested for yoghurt intolerance. Maybe I should and for cheese. Nah sod testing for cheese, if I'm intolerant I'll eat it anyway.
