 There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work. However, employers must keep workplaces at a comfortable temperature. HSE's temperature website has practical guidance on what you can do to manage the risks so people can work safely in hot conditions. This practical guidance includes advice on: - managing workplace temperature
- outdoor working
- heat stress
We are also advising employers to act now to make sure their workplaces are ready for warmer weather in the future. | A civil engineering firm has been fined £600,000 for safety breaches after a seven-year-old child became trapped and suffocated on a construction site. The child went missing from home and was found the next morning by workers at a construction site. HSE's investigation found that the child had become trapped in a drainage pipe, which had been fixed into the ground in preparation for the installation of fencing posts. He had suffocated before being found the next morning when work restarted on site. Read this press release to find more details on this incident. We have information on how construction firms should conduct business without putting members of the public at risk. Other recent prosecution cases include:  Falls from vehicles are among the most common accidents involving workplace transport. By law, employers must take suitable and effective measures to: - prevent anyone from falling a distance that is likely to hurt them
- prevent anyone from being hit by a falling object
Our website has more information on avoiding falls from workplace vehicles. A carpentry and joinery company was recently fined £200,000 after a man working unsecured on the forks of a fork-lift truck fell 3.5 metres to the ground. | HSE's Working Minds campaign aims to help businesses and workers to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health with five simple steps.

They provide free support services to any construction worker or their family. The Working Minds campaign five simple steps are: - reach out and have the conversations
- recognise the signs and causes of stress
- respond to any risks identified
