Mandate working a/c and heating systems on all new public transport vehicles

Summary

Heatwaves are becoming increasingly more frequent, so let's get working air conditioning and heating systems made a legal requirement before a new public service vehicle can go in to service. The UK still has: • no legal maximum bus cab temperature; • no dedicated bus driver heat safety framework; • no nationally enforceable cooling standards; • no DVSA standards on excessive cab temperatures; • and no nationally agreed operational heatwave procedures for the bus industry. Things that will need to be considered are: • driver cab cooling; • occupational heat protection; • climate control standards; • fatigue management; • and heatwave operational procedures. Let's make change!
