With temperatures expected to soar this week, what can you do to help your employees?
Our recommendations include:
Remember that some employees may be affected more by the heat than others for example pregnant workers – talk to these employees on an individual basis to assess their needs.
How hot is too hot? According to HSE guidelines a specific figures cannot be given for temperature in terms of heat in the working environment. This will depend on what control measures are already in place and what additional measures could be put in place. Temperature is a potential hazard and should be covered within a risk assessment carried out in the workplace. If you require further advice on this please do not hesitate to contact one of our advisors.
