Optimal Workplace Temperature: OSHA Guidelines and Comfort

OSHA recommends 68°F to 76°F for most indoor workplaces. Specific requirements may apply based on work type:

• Heat-exposed or strenuous work → lower range to prevent heat illness.
• Cold environments → higher range to prevent cold illness.

The highest comfortable temperature is where employees work safely and efficiently without heat discomfort. This varies by individual preferences, work type, and environmental conditions.
