UK workplaces have no statutory minimum or maximum temperature, but official guidance generally recommends at least 16°C indoors, or 13°C where work involves significant physical effort. Employers must protect outdoor workers from cold-weather hazards through measures such as appropriate clothing, training, safer scheduling and slip prevention. If employers cannot provide a safe workplace, they may be unable to require staff to attend.
