Keep your cool

The law says your employer must maintain a reasonable temperature in your workplace
It doesn’t specify a maximum reasonable temperature, but employers are expected to take reasonable steps to deal with situations where the temperature is uncomfortably high.
The effects of heat depend on a variety of factors, such as air temperature, humidity, physical exertion, etc. Experts says the 'comfort zone' is normally in the region of 16°C to 24°C.
