stable internal temperature.
It does this mainly through circulating blood to the skin and through sweating.When the air
temperature is warm, cooling of the body becomes more difficulty.When this happens, the body
continues to store heat, and the person begins to lose concentration and has difficulty focusing
on a task.Excessive exposure to heat requires immediate medical attention.

by the annual entitlement of 5.6 weeks.
Par-time workers receive fewer actual days of paid holiday because they work lass days a week
than full-time workers.

worker wants to take.
An empolyer can refuse a leave request but they must give as much notice as the amount of
