Nearly a third (31%) of UK workers would clock off early on sunny days during a heatwave, according to research published yesterday (1 May).

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has reminded employers to consider the safety of workers during periods of extreme hot weather this summer.

Covid and high energy prices could create more issues in extreme cold, than extreme heat.

Employers must act now to ensure workplaces are ready for warmer weather in the future, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has announced.
