Rejected petition: Maximum indoor working temperature

Rejected on

Enforce workplaces to comply with a maximum indoor working temperature of 30 degrees.

Workers deserve a safe working environment. Temperatures above 30°C can cause heat stress, dehydration, fatigue, headaches, reduced concentration, and an increased risk of accidents. A legal maximum indoor working temperature of 30°C would help protect workers’ health, safety, and wellbeing while ensuring employers take appropriate measures to keep workplaces safe during hot weather.
