Message from Aaron Barnes and Phil Graham: red weather warnings

The Met Office has issued a red weather warning – indicating that extremely hot temperatures with the potential to break records are expected across multiple regions of the UK on Monday 18 July and Tuesday 19 July.

A red weather warning indicates that ‘dangerous weather is expected’ and that you should take action to keep yourself and others safe from its impact.
We put the safety of our people first and the Health and Safety team have been working in consultation with the CWU on a risk assessment that takes into account the Met Office advice.

We are asking colleagues to attend work on Monday and Tuesday. However - if you are in a red zone and are out on delivery and the temperature rises over 35 degrees C, you will be asked to return to the office, ceasing all operations.

During this period of very hot weather, please ensure you continue to stay hydrated, cover up and apply sunscreen – and return to the office if you feel unwell due to the heat and intense sunlight.

You should check with your line manager if you have any questions and please check Workplace for further updates.

Based on current advice, we expect that the weather on Wednesday 20 July will return to normal summer weather, but conditions will continue to be monitored through deployment of the Severe Weather Risk Assessment tool in consultation with CWU Area and Workplace Health and Safety Reps.
