Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether use of the new Find a Job website will be compulsory for claimants of (a) jobseekers allowance and (b) universal credit.

Answered by Lord Sharma

Use of the Find a job website is not compulsory for claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) or Universal Credit (UC). JSA and UC claimants are asked to create an account and upload a Curriculum Vitae (CV) on Find a job or another jobsite when they make a new claim. If a claimant creates an account using a jobsite other than Find a job, it must be one that is deemed to be suitable by the Work Coach.

Written Question
Working Conditions: Temperature
Wednesday 25th April 2018

Asked by: David Crausby (Labour - Bolton North East)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will bring forward proposals to set a maximum permitted working temperature.

Answered by Sarah Newton

The existing law on workplace temperature, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, places a legal obligation on employers to provide a ‘reasonable’ temperature in the workplace. A meaningful figure is not set out in regulations due to the factors, other than air temperature, which determine thermal comfort (for example, the radiant temperature, humidity and air velocity). These factors become more significant and the interplay between them more complex as the temperature rises.

Detailed guidance on workplace temperature and thermal comfort is available on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website. This includes how to undertake a thermal comfort assessment and measures that can be taken to improve thermal comfort.

The Government has no plans to bring forward proposals to set a maximum permitted working temperature.
