The temperature is set to plummet this week
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for cold weather for the coming week, meaning some will be preparing to begrudgingly turn the heating up.
Employers must ensure the thermometer is "reasonable" inside the workplace. According to the Workplace Regulations, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999: " Employers are obliged to assess risks to health and safety – act where necessary ." This can dip to 13°C in workplaces where strenuous activity is carried out, however there is no upper limit when temperatures begin to rise in the summer months. The Workplace Regulations 1992 state: "During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable."
