Spanish Labor Laws and Heat: Protecting Workers From Extreme Temperatures
In Spain, more than 100 people suffer work-related heat illnesses annually, with at least two fatalities. This alarming statistic prompted a recent video by Empleado Informado, which highlights the legal protections afforded to workers in extreme heat. The video explains that indoor workplaces must maintain a maximum temperature of 27°C for sedentary work and 25°C for physically demanding jobs. For those working outdoors, while there is no maximum temperature, employers are obligated to implement protective measures during heatwaves, such as modified work schedules, reduced workdays, and more frequent breaks. "It's crucial for employers to understand and comply with these regulations to protect their employees' health and safety," explains the video's author. The video's popularity underscores the widespread concern about heat-related workplace risks and the need for greater awareness and enforcement of these crucial labor laws. The video serves as a valuable resource for workers and employers alike, promoting a safer work environment during periods of extreme heat.
