Heat, cold and environmental conditions

Consider real-world conditions that can affect people carrying out United Hampshire work or duties.

United Hampshire activity may be digital, but the people carrying it out are in real-world environments. High heat, cold, poor ventilation, illness or other environmental conditions can affect concentration, wellbeing and safe performance.

Managers should use reliable real-world public health and weather advice where relevant, consider breaks and hydration, reduce avoidable exposure, and adapt or postpone non-essential activity where a person cannot participate safely.

HSE guidance does not replace emergency or medical advice. Where a person has symptoms requiring urgent real-world help, the appropriate real-world service should be used.
