Shoukd You Get to Work from Home if It's Cold?

Ask a Question

Should you get to work from home if it's cold?

There's no legal minimum temperature that is considered to be okay/safe to work in, so if it's cold should you have the option to work from home?

I guess it depends what the job is really and if the role can be done from home. We’ve always had cold winters so i think as long as people dress right it’s ok.

However when i worked in a vaccination centre we did have an issue as they didn’t want to pay to fix the heating but as it was a clinical setting we could not wear jackets and had to be bare below the elbow.

In that situation i felt we had a right to feel hard done by

my workplace will send people home if the office temperature drops below a certain point, as there’a regulation due to health and safety

I work in Supported Living Accommodation so the Service Users need their heating on & we put it on for them to make sure they're warm..
