Introduce a legally binding maximum working temperature of 25°C for all workplaces, covering both indoor and outdoor jobs. Currently, there is an advisory minimum temperature in statutory guidance but no upper limit. We want the Government to change this by introducing a strict 25°C maximum cap.

Currently, there is statutory guidance on a minimum working temperature but there is no legal maximum cap, leaving staff vulnerable to extreme heat We want the Government to set a strict limit of 25°C for both indoor and outdoor work. When temperatures hit 25°C, employers must legally provide cooling measures or pause work. The law must also enforce lower thresholds for more physical roles. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, we believe 'reasonable comfort' is not clear enough, & enforceable limits are needed to protect everyone.
