I'm an out of ours emergency veterinary care provider. My employer has done risk assessments (I'm awaiting copies) and staff are no longer allowed to nap or rest their eyes at work (we do 15 hour night shifts). Where can I find the legislation relating to this - we aren't a residential home or hospital. Thanks

Many vets have an on call staff flat or rest room to allow staff to sleep. Whilst there are certain minimum requirements for sleeping risk premises an already compliant vets premises should either meet these anyway or not require major work.
