As I work in an office. I was wondering whether there is a maximum temperature it should be?

I am driving a minibus from 1-2.5 hours at a time during the heat of the day and there is no air conditioning in the minibus, just open windows. I cook behind the windscreen and the air flow quickly goes to the back of the bus. I feel lack of concentration whilst driving even though I drink water as I go. Today after 5pm when I took a thermometer with me it reached 35C beside me. During the day it must be well over 40C. Are there not serious health and safety issues here?

Employees can now download, and print out, a Workplace Law factsheet to give to their employers. This factsheet contains advice and guidance on how employers can - and should - deal with high workplace temperatures. The factsheet can be downloaded from: https://www.workplacelaw.net/my/download.php?download_id=423
