Make it compulsory for refuse workers to wear shorts in hot climatic weather.
I want the government and parliament to put through wearing shorts for all refuse workers across Britain in the summer months and make it compulsary and make it a law for the rights of the workers and for the health and safety of staff.
I want the government/parliament to do it as companys are not listening to there employees pleas on the subject
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about uniforms for workers, including relaxing requirements to wear uniforms in hot weather, are a matter for individual employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
Employers already have legal obligations to ensure the health and safety of their workers, and the Health and Safety Executive has published guidance on how to respond to the effects of the weather, which you can read here: www.hse.gov.uk/temperature/outdoor.htm
