Episode Details

A new petition is rallying support to ban work above 25°C as UK temperatures soar toward 38°C, exposing workers to dangerous heat without clear legal protections. With health alerts warning of rising deaths among vulnerable groups, unions are demanding urgent action—especially for school staff and bus drivers—to enforce cooling measures or stop work at high temps. The petition seeks 100,000 signatures to force a parliamentary debate, aiming to replace vague “reasonable” workplace standards with enforceable limits to safeguard worker health during extreme heatwaves.
