## Resource

UK workers face unprecedented heatwaves with temperatures soaring toward 40°C, sparking a petition demanding a legal maximum workplace temperature of 25°C — the first time such a limit has been proposed. Started by Andrew Haddock and already gathering over 500 signatures, the petition could force government response at 10,000 and parliamentary debate at 100,000. With a rare red heat warning covering England and Wales, experts warn it’s the humidity, not just the heat, that’s making conditions dangerous. The push highlights a critical gap: “reasonable comfort” is too vague, leaving workers vulnerable — this petition seeks enforceable safety standards when the mercury climbs.
