Starting July 1st, France will enforce new regulations to protect outdoor workers from extreme heat during the summer months. The decree, enacted in late May, requires employers to implement specific measures to prevent heat-related illnesses like heat stroke and dehydration when the temperature reaches designated alert levels (yellow, orange, or red) issued by Météo-France. Employers must modify work practices, improve workplace conditions, and ensure the availability of cool drinking water to ensure worker safety amid rising temperatures, particularly during heatwaves that could last for consecutive days.
The new decree mandates that employers take specific health and safety measures during periods of extreme heat, enhancing protections for outdoor workers.
Employers are required to alter work processes, reorganize workplaces, and adapt hours to mitigate heat exposure risks to safeguard worker health during high temperatures.
