Heatwave Crisis: Why Hannah Spencer Wants a Max Workplace Temperature

As the UK swelters through another dangerous heatwave, millions of workers have no legal protection from extreme temperatures. Hannah Spencer and the Green Party are stepping up with practical, common sense policies that put working people first. In this video, Hannah Spencer — the plumber-turned-MP who truly understands physical jobs — explains why the current situation is unacceptable. The UK has a legal minimum workplace temperature but no maximum. The Green Party is calling for urgent action backed by the TUC and Climate Change Committee: a sensible legal cap (30°C for most work, 27°C for strenuous labour), mandatory risk assessments, proper rest breaks, cooling areas, and protections for schools and vulnerable workers. These aren’t radical ideas — they’re the basic safeguards other countries already have. Hannah highlights how rising temperatures hit hardest those who keep the country running: builders, carers, factory workers, delivery drivers and teachers. The Greens’ approach combines immediate worker protections with long-term investment in climate adaptation so we’re not caught out every summer.
