At what temperature does the labor law stipulate that the temperature must be stopped?

Above 40℃, there is no explicit provision in the labor law. Please refer to the management measures for heatstroke prevention and cooling.

The shutdown above 40 degrees includes 40 degrees, because this temperature is the limit that the human body can bear. Every time the temperature rises by one degree, the risk of heatstroke and shock increases. Outdoor shutdown depends on the situation.

1, if the daily maximum temperature reaches above 40 degrees, stop the outdoor operation on that day;

2. When the daily maximum temperature reaches more than 37 degrees and less than 40 degrees, the employer shall arrange the workers to work outdoors for a total of no more than 6 hours, and the continuous working hours shall not exceed the national regulations.

The employing unit shall establish and improve the heatstroke prevention and cooling system, strengthen the physical examination of workers, reasonably adjust the working hours of workers, scientifically determine the labor intensity, comprehensively improve the working conditions, carry out occupational health knowledge training on the hazards and protection of high-temperature weather operations, improve the emergency plan for sudden illness of workers during high-temperature weather operations, organize timely treatment, and minimize the harm caused by high-temperature weather operations to the health of workers.
