Hot Weather in the Workplace – UNISON Guidance

UNISON NPT has received a number of queries regarding high temperatures in the workplace.

Unfortunately, there is currently no legal maximum working temperature set in the UK. However, employers are still required to ensure that workplace conditions are “reasonable” under health and safety legislation.

When indoor temperatures start to reach around 30°C (or lower for physically demanding roles), this may be considered uncomfortable or unsafe, and staff can reasonably ask for adjustments.

If you are experiencing difficulties due to heat, you are encouraged to raise this with your manager in the first instance. If concerns are not addressed, please contact UNISON for further support.

NJC Pay Update

The NJC Committee met on 7 April and agreed the 3.3% pay offer falls far short of what members need and deserve.

To move the campaign on quickly, the committee decided to reject the offer on members’ behalf.

We agreed we need a new approach. This year, strike ballots will focus on employers with 20+ members and where last year’s consultation reached at least a 30% turnout. While not every workplace will be balloted, every member can still get involved. We’re building a campaign that gives everyone a voice as we push for a better pay offer.

Further details will be sent out via email to all UNISON members.
