✍️ Sign the petition to demand a maximum safe working temperature for workers.
Right now, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is updating its guidance, but there’s still no legal maximum temperature to protect people working in extreme heat 🥵
Every summer, rising temperatures put workers at risk of dehydration, dizziness, and serious illness and around 4,500 people develop skin cancer each year from outdoor work.
This can’t be ignored.
We’re calling for clear rules so employers must act when temperatures rise - starting at 24°C, as recommended for safe and comfortable working.
