# Event Details - **Event Name**: Extreme heat in the workplace – parliamentary launch and Showcase - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 03:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us in Parliament to discuss the issue of extreme heat in the workforce and the challenges of establishing effective thresholdsAbout this EventOffice of National Statistics (ONS) data from May 2024 shows that extreme heat in Great Britain resulted in an estimated total loss of £28.6 billion (in 2022 prices) to the economy 1998-2021 with nearly half of that loss occurring in the latest five-year period (2017-2021).Physiology helps us to understand how the human body works in health and how it responds and adapts to the challenges of life such as disease and climate change as well as identifying those most at risk. Improving resilience to heat is multifactorial, requiring a deep understanding of how physiological factors are affected by environment and behaviour.Join us to celebrate the launch of our latest policy report into the impact of heat on workers and how physiology can help the Government, employers and workers protect health and productivity.Why attend?Advocate for the UK government to make action in this area a priority.Collaborate with physiologists who are exhibiting examples of how their research is helping to tackle the health and productivity challenges caused by extreme heat and related consequences of climate changeDemonstrate how physiology is a key element of effective policymaking in the area of worker safety in extreme heatMeet with MPs to help them understand the physiological research being undertaken related to extreme heat and worker health and productivity in the UK and their constituencies.Make new contacts by networking over lunch with researchers, funders and policymakers.Hear from experts and funders and discuss the latest scientific research in the field.Who should attend?Representatives from organisations working at the interface of climate change, health and heat.Scientific researchers in the field of physiology, climate impacts and heat.Policymakers who make decisions about how to respond to climate change and extreme heat.Public health officials and healthcare workers who are planning how to support healthy lives in extreme heat.Funders who support research and development in the area of climate and health.Please note: This event is in-person only and we are unable to support or sponsor temporary visas for attendance at this event in the UK. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/extreme-heat-in-the-workplace-parliamentary-launch-and-showcase/100001991705535873 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Churchill Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Churchill Room - **lat**: 51.4994794 - **long**: -0.1248092 - **full address**: Churchill Room, Houses of Parliament, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Extreme heat in the workplace – parliamentary launch and Showcase - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/4c92c0fa210f2b605e2ea6aff0c55dd55bb47c05bd4b53f04a3d1bb54d344649-rimg-w1200-h800-dcc8c8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1786007836 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Extreme heat in the workplace - parliamentary launch and Showcase being held?
