eMPLOYERS DUTY RE STOREAGE OF CLOTHES

[QUIST]

Does anyone know if an employer has a duty to provide storeage for noncycling look reasonably smart at work clothes?

Thanks in advance

quite simply, legally no they don't. but you may want to point out the usefulness of such storage.

This is what needs to be provided and doesn't include cycle facilities.

As above point out that be making a small space for such items they may gain be needing fewer parking places, employees are generally more punctual (less likelihood of being delayed in traffic), fewer sickness days etc if they commute by bike.

I rather thought this might be case- i'm not particuarly partial to scrumping a shirt up after insertiung razor sharp creases

There was an article in the news recently about health workers travelling to work in their uniforms and therefore exposing them to germs, etc.

Quite frankly it doesn't matter in most cases. The majority of health workers wash their own clothes, and modern domestic washing machines do not cater for a thermal disinfection type cycle in line with HSG guidelines, which is now CFPP something or other guidelines.
Harmful infectious bugs and viruses don't get destroyed properly in a domestic machine.

This is a bigger issue in my opinion than clothes getting mucky en route to work.
