We provide some hot water bottles as a courtesy. For either personal pain relief or just keeping warm from all that sitting still and staring at screens it it important to keep a few basic rules in mind:
- Don’t overfill the bottle! Put around 1-1.5l of hot (but not still boiling) water into the bottle. Squeeze out the air and then put the top on.
- Always check the bottle for leaks once you have sealed it up. Hot water is no joke!
- Don’t sit on, or apply pressure to the bottles.
- Don’t throw the bottles at co-workers, no matter how loudly they are eating!
- When you are done with the bottle, empty it and put it back on the rack ready for the next person.
We want you to be warm and happy but we also need you to be careful. If you aren’t sure about any aspect of the hot water bottles just ask one of the team. Better safe than sorry!
