There’s no law for minimum or maximum working temperatures, eg when it’s too cold or too hot to work.

However, guidance suggests a minimum of 16ºC or 13ºC if employees are doing physical work.

There’s no guidance for a maximum temperature limit.

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

• keeping the temperature at a comfortable level
• providing clean and fresh air

Employees should talk to their employer if the workplace temperature isn’t comfortable.

There is no law for a minimum or maximum temperature, but during working hours the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings must be reasonable
