Adapting to climate change is becoming an increasingly critical factor in occupational safety and health practice. As our environment undergoes changes, the inevitable consequences are new hazards or increased risks for workers’ safety and health.
What impacts of climate change on workplace safety and health we can already observe? What impacts can we foresee? New insights can guide actions and behaviours needed to ensure workers’ safety.
