NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The UK currently has no legally enforceable maximum temperature for workplaces, with existing guidance recommending that workplaces should be at a "reasonable" temperature, but not specifying an exact figure. This lack of clarity has led to concerns over worker safety and well-being, particularly during periods of extreme heat. The call for a 25C maximum temperature law reflects growing concerns about the impact of heat on workplace health and productivity.
