This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Uk law/regulation on massage limits
To implement massage limits regulations, to reduce therapist burn out, and avoid injuries,
For an 8hour shift limits need to be a maximum 4.5 hours of massage to maintain physical and mental well-being of massage therapists
More details
Therapists experience burn out on a daily basis, with therapist maintaining chronic back pain and repetitive strain injuries.
Understanding that the limits at the moment are voluntary, most companies are abusing this and until a law comes in to place more and more people are going to feel exhausted and lacking any body strength and the end of the shifts only to go to work the next day to do the same.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government sets maximum weekly working hours, but these apply to all workers. Decisions about working hours for particular employees are a matter for individual employees and their employers, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
