Is there a minimun legal temperature to work in?

Does your employer have a legal obligation to ensure you workplace is above a certain temperature? In the UK?

bubs546

Yes. The Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992 requires the temperature in workroom to 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.

No clue about the UK laws, but it would be really weird if they did, what about people who work outside, or in meat packaging plants, or near servers or all the other places that the temperature can't be raised, my advise is bring a sweater.
