I am looking for guidance on workspace planning and occupancy levels in relation specifically to an open plan office and dimensions for space between desks and space between desks and filing to provide a safe place of work. Escape routes are adequately covered in fire regulations and guidance readily available, however we are struggling to find information regarding the actual layout and planning of desk space.
Are there any formal guidelines or ACOPs that can be used to provide help, guidance and assistance apart from the ACOP for the Health, Safety & Welfare act that refers to the 11m3 per person in a room.
We have received a report on occupancy levels that refers to the New Metric Handbook, and dimensions given therein. Is anyone aware of this document, and does it carry any approval or accreditation from bodies like the HSE, ISO, BSI etc?
Thanks for your help
