TUC - Tackling high temperatures at work: Wednesday 18 June 2025 | 14:00- 15:00

 

High temperatures are a major problem in the workplace, especially during summer. Excessive heat can cause dizziness, fainting, and heat cramps, posing serious health risks. Workers in outdoor sites, warehouses, and kitchens are particularly vulnerable. Union reps play a crucial role in advocating for safer conditions. Join Shelly Asquith, Health and Safety Policy Officer at the TUC, and Miranda Irwin, Coordinator at Heat Strike, to learn how reps can organise for cooler and safer workplaces.
