With temperatures soaring to 34°C during the May bank holiday in the UK, many employees are concerned about their rights in the workplace. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require employers to assess workplace risks, including temperature, but there is no established maximum temperature limit. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recognizes heat as a hazard, imposing legal obligations on employers to ensure a safe working environment. Workers can report unreasonable temperatures to their employer or the HSE. John Rowe, HSE’s deputy director, emphasized the importance of employers maintaining reasonable indoor temperatures and engaging with employees about working conditions. For outdoor laborers, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 mandate protective measures against adverse weather, including heat. Employers should provide cooling options such as air conditioning and encourage a relaxed dress code to help employees cope with the heat.
