This petition was rejected

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
