The heatwave workers 'like cats on a hot tin roof'
If you think it is hot where you work, try fitting aluminium solar panels to a steel roof. Or carrying scaffolding tubes up a ladder
If you think it is hot where you work, try fitting aluminium solar panels to a steel roof. Or carrying scaffolding tubes up a ladder in 33C (91.4F). Or driving a bus with no air conditioning.
Ben Harrison, founder of a Gloucestershire solar panel installation firm, said his crews are "like cats on a hot tin roof". In Bristol, scaffolders started early on Wednesday, at 06:00 BST. But by midday the tubes they handle were "burning hot", and they called an early finish.
Bus drivers said their uncooled cabs are well over 40C (104F). Yet there is no law telling employers to call a halt when the heat
records are broken. So what are companies doing to keep their staff cool, and what can you do if your workplace is sweltering?
