Rejected petition Set a maximum temperature limit at workplaces
We are all humans and our body can only take certain temperatures.The employers must provide the right conditions to work also airconditioning where it's required to keep the acceptable temperature.The government must set a maximum temperature limit at workplaces what will not harm our health.
More details
At my workplace we spend 8 hours or more in very high temperature (over 30°C) during the summer period.
Yesterday I had to work in 50°C.
Just before I finished my shift I started to faint and feeling ill. Today I can't work because I had a heat stroke at work spending 8 hours in 50°C. I contacted environmental health where they told me there is no low for a maximum temperature at work places.
I was completely shocked!
This is absolutely inhumane!
This low must be changed for our health!
