Workplace temperatures - week of action

20 May 2025 11:20 AM

The weather is hotting up, and so are our workplaces. While employers are obliged to manage indoor temperatures and keep you cool, many don’t.

In the week of 14 – 20 July, the TUC is inviting union health and safety reps to inspect their workplace temperatures.

Let’s take a collective temperature check, and use it to organise for safer, cooler workplaces this summer!

Sign up below to take part, and we’ll send you all the tools you need, including a checklist and thermometer.

Sign up for a week of action

And, if you carry out an inspection and tell us about it, you’ll receive a TUC Education credential that recognises what you've done. Read more about TUC credentials.

Other actions you can take:

• Register for the webinar on 15 June where we’ll be talking through the week of action! 
• Sign the petition calling for a maximum working temperature.
