    Here in Canada we have laws regarding both minimum and maximum temperatures we’re allowed to work in, although it varies from industry and province.

      There’s a minimum temperature for indoor work in Britain, but no maximum. The minimum for sedentary work used to be 17°C, but they reduced it to 16°C during the last government. Notably, it hasn’t been increased again under the current one. (For active indoor work, it’s 13°C. Outdoor work has no limits otherwise the country would be even less functional in extreme weather than it already is.)

        Sure you do. Your regulations around environmental damage are more strict than Canadian regulations.
