As the second heatwave hits the UK please ensure you take precautions to keep yourself safe and well.
Whilst there is no legal maximum temperature, employers have a duty to keep workers safe at work.
For staff working at Sandwell Council and Sandwell Children’s Trust, UNISON has negotiated an extreme weather policy that covers such heatwaves.
Please read the policy below and ensure this is applied.
SMBC Adverse Extreme Weather Guidance – FINAL for formatting
If you work elsewhere this is a policy that is a sensible policy to follow.
