The UK Climate Change Committee has called on the government to set a legally binding maximum workplace temperature, pointing to Spain's 27°C limit as a model. With no upper limit in UK law since workplace regulations were introduced in 1992 — despite a minimum of 16°C for sedentary work — the recommendation arrives as climate projections show UK days above 30°C have roughly doubled since 1990 and heat-related productivity losses average £1.2 billion annually.
