Slovenia Workplace Heat Rules (Pravilnik, Uradni list RS 53/2025) — Heat Stress Work/Rest Limits

Slovenia 'Pravilnik o zahtevah za zagotavljanje varnosti in zdravja delavcev na delovnih mestih', as amended by the 2025 heat amendment (Uradni list RS 53/2025, in force 2025-07-12). Outdoor work above 30°C air temperature triggers a mandatory minimum 15-minute break at least every 2–3 hours, plus free non-alcoholic beverages and weather/sun protection. The parent Pravilnik separately caps general workroom air temperature at +28°C.
