Working in hot environments
For indoor workplaces the law states: "During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable."

The regulations do not set a maximum or minimum temperature.

Employees - Is your workplace too hot?

If yes, report it to your manager, union representative or workplace representative.

Employers - are employees complaining that their workplace is too hot?

You may need to conduct a thermal comfort risk assessment. The Health and Safety Executive has developed guidance to help employers manage the risk.
