Temperatures in the kitchen at Bistro 8 in Caerphilly hit 51C on the hottest day of the year on Monday. It will re-open on Wednesday with space made in the walk-in fridge for staff to nip in and cool down.
There’s a minimum temperature for indoor work in Britain, but no maximum. The minimum for sedentary work used to be 17°C, but they reduced it to 16°C during the last government. Notably, it hasn’t been increased again under the current one. (For active indoor work, it’s 13°C. Outdoor work has no limits otherwise the country would be even less functional in extreme weather than it already is.)
Noone should be forced to work in temperatures over 30 degrees, anything over 25 should require free drinks and ice creams
Basing that comment on Britain which falls apart in hot weather, your mileage elsewhere may vary
Anything bellow 25 should require space heaters and the option to wear a blanket.
Anyway, hello from Brazil. Yes, YMMV.
From the Midwest USA. If it was below 25 we might have a sweatshirt on. Anyone asking for a space heater would be ridiculed for their “thin blood”.
Obviously I’m talking F for my area. Had to look up Brazil. Do ya’ll really get cold below 25C?
lol
lmao even
Obviously you’ve never been to the Middle East.
Have you? It’s dry there, so your sweat evaporates, cooling you down.
Yes, i have been there. It’s not always dry. Oman and the UAE can get pretty humid at times.
Here in Canada we have laws regarding both minimum and maximum temperatures we’re allowed to work in, although it varies from industry and province.

In Alaska we don’t have that hippie regulation bullshit.

Table for the limits is at the bottom of the page.
Sure you do. Your regulations around environmental damage are more strict than Canadian regulations.
Canadians are the America’s punchlines.
