Doesn't the WH&S Act allude to 24 Celsius as the magic comfort figure?
Particularly in a safety sensitive position such as a pilot.
Further more , my interpretation of the Act suggests that temperature comfort is a personal thing thus the lack of a truely definitive temperature cutoff figure!
Will be interesting to see the first pilot stood down over this issue!
For example some pilots may feel discomfort at any temperature less than the decreed 27 degrees whilst encased in the new monkey suit and are thus severely temperature stressed thus affecting their ability to perform a safety sensitive job satisfactorily in such circumstances.
Public disobedience campaign anyone?
Would have thought an Act of Parliament ,trumps some clown inspired drivel any day!
