Je\u015bli dokument zostanie zatwierdzony, Polska po raz pierwszy okre\u015bli g\u00f3rny limit temperatury dla miejsc pracy oraz na\u0142o\u017cy na pracodawc\u00f3w obowi\u0105zki dotycz\u0105ce redukcji stresu cieplnego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the country only has minimum temperature standards: 18 degrees for offices and 14 for other premises. There is no upper limit. The new regulation will correct this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What temperature limits are being proposed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the draft, the maximum allowable temperature depends on the intensity of work. In offices and with low or moderate physical exertion, it is 28 degrees. With high exertion, the limit decreases to 25 degrees, and with very high exertion \u2014 to 22 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For outdoor work, regulations will begin at temperatures above 25 degrees \u2014 the company will have to take protective measures for employees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What employers must do<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the standard is exceeded, the employer is required to implement technical solutions: enhance ventilation, install air conditioning, use sun protection, or move workstations to shaded areas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When technical measures are insufficient, organizational measures come into play: remote work for office employees, additional breaks, shortening the workday or shifts. Companies will also be able to provide cooling vests or allow staff to access air-conditioned areas for rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For outdoor workers, the range of measures is broader: reducing heavy physical work during peak heat, changing schedules, resting in the shade or indoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Complete work stoppage at critical temperatures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Najbardziej rygorystyczna zasada dotyczy niezno\u015bnego upa\u0142u<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, not all types of activities will fall under these restrictions. The ministry plans to exclude critically important services, the list of which coincides with the exceptions for Sunday work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Projekt jest obecnie w trakcie przegl\u0105du.
