Set maximum and minimum temperatures work places

What the petition asks

We would like the Government to set a minimum and maximum temperature in workplaces to ensure employees can work comfortably.
The Government should legislate so that workplaces must adhere to suitable working temperatures for employees. High temperatures can have significant impact on health, and heatstroke can even lead to brain damage. The climate is changing, and the Government should respond by ensuring employers take proper care of their employees, by keeping workplace temperatures within minimum and maximum temperatures set in law.
