Official title: Voorstel van resolutie over de invoering van een plan ter bescherming van de werknemers en de bevolking tegen hittegolven.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The proposal asks the federal government to set clear temperature rules for working in heat, increase funding for emergency services, and adapt public spaces with more shade and greenery.
- This affects workers, employers, vulnerable people such as the elderly, and emergency response and healthcare staff.
- During a heatwave, you would receive better protection at work, faster emergency response times, and easier access to cool public spaces and free drinking water in your neighbourhood.
