Protecting Outdoor Workers: Solutions for Extreme Heat Exposure
Climate-sensitive populations, such as outdoor workers and farmworkers, often have little choice when it comes to heat exposure on the job. In this talk, we will explore the impact of working outdoors in high temperatures and discuss potential solutions to protect these workers from life-threatening heat stress. Heat-related illnesses and fatalities are preventable, and the idea that this is just an unavoidable reality is a misconception. By raising awareness and equipping workers and employers with the necessary information and resources, we can effectively reduce the incidence of heat-related illnesses and deaths.
