... There is no legal maximum #workplace temperature in #Britain

- No right to stop
- No requirement for #employers to act
- Employers can ignore the heat entirely and face no consequences
- While schools close their doors, millions of #workers have no choice but to stay put and sweat it out

Met Office says this #heatwave will affect everyone, not just the vulnerable

There are currently no laws to protect working people from working in extreme temperatures. Can you add your name to this petition to put pressure on the government to bring forward new legislation?
