Pushing OSH policies in a warming world Joint IOSH and Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change

This webinar looks at the impact of the rise in global temperatures making occupational heat stress a more common problem. It is increasingly well-evidenced that excessive heat during work creates occupational health risks. A worker’s physical functions and capabilities, and work capacity, are restricted and it negatively affects workforce productivity. This is particularly the case in regions vulnerable to climate change.
The session explores:
the different avenues in which governments can work together with workers’ and employers’ organisations
the design, implement and monitor better mitigation and adaptation policies and practices
workplace interventions and awareness initiatives that look at educating and assisting employers on heat illness prevention
recommendations for improved levels of coordination from public authorities on setting occupational heat health surveillance services and systems.
