Introduce a maximum legal safe workplace temperature
Rejected

What the petition asks
In recent years we have seen increasing temperatures in the UK of 30 degrees celsius or above, with 37 degrees predicted for 2019. This is dangerous for many people, particularly those with existing health issues. We need a legal maximum safe temperature to protect working people's well-being.
