Introduce national heatwave resilience strategy & legal protections

Summary

Create a national heat resilience strategy with legal protections for excessive indoor temperature in workplaces and homes. Britain increasingly faces dangerous summer heat, but there is no legal maximum workplace temperature in the UK, and many buildings are ill-equipped for heatwaves. Introduce a national heat resilience strategy & legal protection for excessive temperature in workplaces and homes. The Government should consult on: Maximum safe indoor working temperatures; mandatory heat risk assessments during heatwaves; minimum cooling and ventilation standards for new-build housing; funding to retrofit existing homes and buildings; issuing public guidance; the implications for public transport such as bus, tram, and rail; during heatwave events.
