Working in hot temperatures
With temperatures increasing across much of the country, employers must ensure workers are protected during hot weather.
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work, because every workplace is different.

HSE's website has a practical step guide on temperature in the workplace.

This includes guidance on:

what the law says
managing workplace temperature
preventing heat stress
protecting those working outdoors

We also provide a workplace temperature checklist to help you carry out a basic risk assessment.

View the full range of guidance by visiting HSE's temperature webpages.

In offices or similar environments, the temperature in workplaces must be reasonable.

HSE eBulletin:

Temperature in the workplace: working safely in hot conditions
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work.
In offices or similar environments, the temperature in workplaces must be reasonable.



Employers must stick to health and safety at work law, including:

keeping the temperature at a comfortable level, sometimes known as thermal comfort
providing clean and fresh air
Our thermal comfort checklist (PDF) can help you identify whether there may be a risk of thermal discomfort in your workplace.



Employees should talk to their employer if the workplace temperature isn't comfortable. We have guidance on what you can do to feel more comfortable.



Working safely in hot conditions

It is important to remember the risks of overheating when working in hot conditions, whether you are inside or outdoors.



Our website has practical guidance on what you can do to manage the risks, including:

Information on factors that can lead to heat stress, and how to reduce the risk of it occurring
Managing outdoor working environments
For further information and advice visit our temperature website.
