The temperature in workrooms should normally be at least 16 degrees Celsius unless much of the work involves severe physical effort in which case the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius. These temperatures may not, however, ensure reasonable comfort, depending on other factors such as air movement and relative humidity.’

There isn't a law for the highest temperature but I believe that there is one for the lowest. However, I think that you are allowed extra comfort breaks in this heat.

We work in a stifling hot travel agency and have looked into this at great length. There is no legal maximum temperature. It was recommended to us that we report the unbearable conditions to our union, who would fight on our behalf - Joke! Whoever heard of travel agents in a union???? We'd get sacked for even trying to join one! You just have to grin and bear it, or get your doctor to sign you off.

I have to agree with the answers that state that there is no upper temperature law, however it is your employers responsibility to ensure that your health is protected at work, so if it is unbearable then you could inform your union or the health and safety authority.

in Britain it does not matter how high a tempreture you can work in as long as the employer is allowing for adequate hydration and rest periods .there is nothing you can do. Baroness Thather passed this law when she was in power

Your blood starts to bubble at over 36 degrees, it's unsafe to work the body much hotter thant that... My friend Marleen worked in 38 degress temperature last summer and her **** exploded...
You have been warned...

As far as I know for health and safety there is not a specified highest temp, only a lowest one!

I think OSHA standards it is 120°F. If it is any higher you can be shut down until the temperature is lowered, by whatever means, but you cannot work in anything over 120°F.

I would say that would be up to you. I have worked outdoors when the temperature was near 100°F. But then again, I'm tougher than woodpecker lips.
