How Hot Is Too Hot To Work?

The Clive Holland Show

Tuesday, 9 September 2025 - 30 minutes

As The Met Office confirms that summer 2025 was officially the hottest on record for the United Kingdom, we’re talking about working in that heat! The World Health Organization and the World Meteorological Organization have reported recently that millions of workers are exposed to heat stress, which affects their health, and their performance. They’ve both called for governments, employers, and workers to co-operate to develop adaptation strategies! Closer to home, unions such as GMB and Unite are calling for a 27oC limit for manual work to protect workers. So today I’m asking, is a maximum working temperature a good thing? Or just more red tape that’s going to stop you getting on with the job? We spoke to Gary Mcyintire AKA Roofing Banksy and Sean Kelly to hear how they think heat should be dealt with in our industry. Plus, there's the pub lunch quiz and you’ll hear the very best messages that we received.Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
