Green MP Hannah Spencer Proposes Legislation for Maximum Workplace Temperatures

12 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Hannah Spencer, a newly elected Green MP, is set to introduce a bill in parliament addressing maximum workplace temperatures in the UK. She highlights the chaos caused by heatwaves and emphasizes the need for worker protection from unsafe conditions.
The proposed legislation aims to establish an independent body to recommend and implement safe temperature limits in workplaces.
The UK has experienced a rise in extreme weather events, including heatwaves, which have raised concerns about the implications for worker safety and health. Current regulations do not specify maximum temperatures for workplaces, leaving many workers vulnerable during extreme heat events.
The introduction of this bill by Hannah Spencer reflects a growing recognition of the impact of climate change on labor conditions. As heatwaves become more frequent, the need for regulatory measures to protect workers is increasingly urgent.
