Introduce a legal maximum temperature to work - 25 degrees Celsius

Background

We want the government to put in place a legal maximum temperature for working (25 degrees Celsius) and for employers to have to ensure it does not exceed this in workplaces where possible. I think workplaces should install measures to bring the temperature down.

Additional details

We think there needs to be a law, as there is not currently one, and employers do not always take measures to lower temperatures in summer. We are asking the government to pass a law to make them act responsibly to their employees during the hot months this country has, to ensure employees health and wellbeing.
