Health and Safety Executive:
Working in high temperatures
Employers must ensure workers are protected during hot weather.
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work, because every workplace is different.
No meaningful upper limit can be imposed as many indoor workplaces have high temperatures that are not seasonal but created by work activity, for example in bakeries or foundries.
HSE's website has guidance on temperature in the workplace.

Health and Safety Executive:
HSE publishes latest work-related fatal injury statistics
In the last year, 126 workers were killed in work-related incidents in Great Britain.
HSE's annual data release covers the period from April 2025 to March 2026.
This year the regular annual update is complemented by new analysis, comparing the level and trend of fatal injuries to workers in Great Britain with a selection of 35 other countries.
Apart from the years affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the number of worker deaths in 2025 to 2026 is provisionally the lowest number recorded in a single year.
The most common causes of fatal injuries are:
• falls from height (31)
• being struck by a moving vehicle (24)
• being struck by a moving object (21)

HSE has also published the annual figures for mesothelioma, a cancer caused by past exposure to asbestos.
2,146 people died from the disease in 2024, which is lower than the average of 2,508 deaths per year during the period 2011 to 2020.

Health and Safety Executive:
Working Minds: are you managing the risk of work-related stress?
Work-related stress is preventable and employers have a legal duty to assess and manage it.
In 2024/25, 964,000 workers reported stress, depression, or anxiety caused or made worse by work. HSE's Management Standards give you a practical framework to tackle the main causes of stress at work.

Poor management in any of these 6 areas can harm health, reduce productivity, and increase sickness absence:

Demands - workload, work patterns, and the working environment
Control - how much say workers have in how they do their work
Support - resources and encouragement from managers and colleagues
Relationships - fostering positive working and tackling unacceptable behaviour
Role - clarity of responsibilities
Change - managing and communicating organisational change effectively

Spot risks early and take action to protect your workforce.

Our free guidance and tools can help you apply the Management Standards:

There are many types of seizures. Epilepsy, but they can be caused by heat, infection, head injure, stroke.
If you suspect a seizure, support only as much as is needed. Don’t restrict their movement. Try to time the seizure. Call an ambulance

Working in hot temperatures
With high temperatures across much of the country, employers must ensure workers are protected during hot weather.
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work, because every workplace is different.
HSE's website has a practical step guide on temperature in the workplace.
This includes guidance on:
what the law says
managing workplace temperature
preventing heat stress
protecting those working outdoors
We also provide a workplace temperature checklist to help you carry out a basic risk assessment.
View the full range of guidance by visiting HSE's temperature webpages.
