With temperatures set to rise again this week, offices and workplaces are sure to get even stickier and more uncomfortable – but you’re just going to have to stick it out because there’s no maximum workplace temperature.
The TUC has been calling for maximum workplace temperatures to be in place, with the top temps being 30°C (or 27°C for physically demanding work).
