Maximum temperature

Should we have maximum temperatures that staff are expected to work in? And should there be a responsibility of employers to provide cooling measures, at points below the maximum, etc? More frequent breaks, as temperatures rise. Lots of measures may aid employee safety, potentially productivity too.

Boss bought me a desk fan! Better than a kick in the nuts and much needed. Our ambient is way above 25 deg C at the moment.

I also don't believe in being nannied, and take personal responsibility for my own wellbeing so am hydrating like a bastard.

What about the poor buggers who work outside?

Spare a thought for those people who work on the roads in dangerous conditions and sweltering heat.

There are already regs under law for employers to provide thermal comfort measures as part of the health and safety at work act 1974

Try working in a gas engine house in the middle of summer, 4 x 4MW engines running at the height summer, regularly 50c + in the day for 12 hour shifts. Part of the job

With global heating increasing, we are going to be subject to more extreme weather events, including protracted periods without escape.

I sympathise with anyone who has to work in conditions that are very stressful to our health and lives. I think that we may need more specific requirements defined in law, so that people have greater security of safety. I don't know if anyone knows the Chinese requirements for employers - it would be good to know.

Unless the rules have changed recently, there is no maximum legal workplace temperature in the UK.

The office I worked in before the pandemic routinely exceeded 30°C. The warehouse I worked in after university routinely exceeded 40°C. Management don't give a fuck.

no.

in other countries there is no max temp, people still work in temperatures hotter than we have here for months on end some even all year round.

yes it is hot but people should not have extra breaks, drink break is fine but no sitting around doing nothing. if they want extra breaks they should stay late doing the extra time they take, im not a boss and do not have air conditioning at work, i work in a very hard working active job which is like a being at a gym working out the entire day in a oven from 8am-6pm. people in this country are just not hard working any more.

Bit of a sweeping statement that.

There should be really yes. A summer working in a polytunnel was the most unbearable I've had. I was a regular fainter

We do in the army ever since those lads died doing SAS selection about 10 years ago. In hot weather they bring out a device called a wet bulb which says if it's too hot for physical exertion, and if so then all training immediately stops until it cools off a bit.

My husband has aircon in his job but there is an office upstairs and when it gets to a certain temp the admin staff are allowed to work from home.

I know. I was just backing up that fact and that there are regulations in law that require employers to make sure workers are comfortable.

So what about those working in glass forges or iron works or any other hot industry?
