Dear colleagues,

My experts would appreciate any information you could provide on regulations in your country regarding high temperatures during work.

Please find below our questions:

• * How is work at high temperatures regulated in your country? Have you got legal regulations or guidance in this respect?

• * Do you have separate regulations in your country which regulate high temperatures caused by atmospheric factors and high temperatures caused by work processes?

• * Does this temperature apply to indoor or outdoor work? When differentiating the temperature, how is the work severity determined?

• * Is there specific temperature determined which causes employers to take specific measures? What are these measures?

• * Is there an upper temperature limit determined that, when reached, operation has to absolutely stop? What is the temperature value?

• * When determining/measuring temperature, are other external factors (e.g. humidity, air flow speed) affecting the employee's heat load taken into account or the temperature value itself?

• * Is any financial assistance offered to small and medium-sized enterprises in connection with the above?

• * Is there any other useful information you could share in this regard?

We appreciate your feedback by 19^th July.

We look forward to your replies and thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Edyta
