Working in high temperatures

Friday 14 Aug 2026

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.

 

No meaningful upper limit can be imposed as many indoor workplaces have high temperatures that are not seasonal but created by work activity, for example in bakeries or foundries.

 

HSE’s website has guidance on temperature in the workplace.
