Hmmm...
"During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable."

Wow, thanks Health And Safety Executive Guidelines :\

It goes on to say not colder than 16c in an office, but no upper limit...

yeah, there is no maximum temperature,
otherwise chefs would never be able to work.

Cold-area workers.
It's all ok with low temperatures if there's protective clothing provided.

Figured it was something like that.
And firemen.

That's bonkers
There should be a maximum level. Above that you must have protective clothing.

If my office were on fire H&S would be telling me that it's dangerously hot so there's a starting point of around 800 kelvin.

If the room is over a certain temp
you're allowed to take a break more often to avoid heat exhaustion. I don't know what the temp is, but when I was but a wee student working at McDonalds for beer-money, if you were working the grill, you got to take a quick drink break every half hour Or alternatively, you could complain viciously to get a desk-fan.
