Rejected petition Allow shorts to be worn on all construction sites. All builders sign a waiver

At the moment most building sites in Britain we cannot wear shorts on site, even when it's as high as 34 degrees!

Having the bottom of our legs exposed is no different to having our forearms exposed. I believe there is no logical reason for builders not to be allowed to wear shorts.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

At the moment, this is a decision for employers, acting within the relevant law, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take action, you could start a new petition asking clearly for a specific action.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
