In Belgium, #workplace #heat thresholds are explicit:
- 29°C for #office work
- 26°C for moderate work (such as shelf stacking)
- 22°C for heavy work (such as #warehousing, #construction)
- 18°C for very heavy work (such as #roadwork)
When these temperatures are exceeded, #Belgian #employers must take measures such as #cooling, #ventilation, extra breaks and providing drinks

@paka@mastodon.scot it is amazing anything gets done with those quoted temperatures. The would need to be so many exceptions to the rules.
