Do you get too hot at work?

26 June 2009

Does it get too warm where you work, making you feel hot and bothered? This is your chance to help us to get something done about it!

Under health and safety law, employers have a duty to maintain a reasonable temperature in the workplace. Although the law specifies the minimum reasonable temperature,  there is no specified maximum.

Usdaw has been campaigning for a change in the law to fill this gap, so the Labour Government has agreed to carry out a review of the regulations. 

Please help us to prepare a case for a maximum workplace temperature by downloading our questionnaire and sending it completed to the Health and Safety Section at Central Office.

If you have problems downloading a copy e-mail us at: healthandsafety@usdaw.org.uk giving us your details and we will send you a copy.
