**Are there any regulations in the industry regarding periods when loading and unloading is prohibited due to high summer temperatures?
Our own company has relevant regulations to avoid high-temperature periods. But the leader requested that relevant evidence be found
Does no one know, or are there simply no regulations?
Recently, the **State Administration of Work Safety**, the **National Health and Family Planning Commission**, the **Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security**, and the **All-China Federation of Trade Unions** jointly issued a notice on taking measures to prevent heat-related issues, emphasizing the need to \"increase funding for heat prevention measures\" and to \"pay workers heat allowances in accordance with relevant regulations\". What rights do workers have in hot weather? The \"Measures for the Management of Heat Prevention and Cooling Measures\" adopted as early as 2012 stipulate that when the daily maximum temperature exceeds 40°C, outdoor work should be suspended for that day ; When the maximum daily temperature exceeds 37°C but is below 40°C, employers shall not arrange for workers to carry out outdoor work for more than 6 hours in total throughout the day, and no outdoor work shall be assigned during the 3 hours when the temperature is at its highest ; When the daily maximum temperature exceeds 35°C but remains below 37°C, employers shall reduce the continuous working time of workers, and must not assign them to work outdoors in overtime. If an employer assigns workers to carry out outdoor work in high-temperature conditions above 35°C and fails to take effective measures to reduce the temperature in the workplace to below 33°C, it shall pay the workers a high-temperature allowance, which shall be included in the total wage amount. If work is suspended or working hours are reduced due to high temperatures, the employer shall not deduct or reduce the worker’s salary.
