The Climate Crisis and Workers’ Health #IWMD24
The focus is on the impact of climate change on occupational safety and health. Like other workplaces, schools and colleges are affected by extreme weather events, whether heatwaves, flooding, storm damage or by the air pollution that is part of the problem. Many buildings are in a poor condition, whether because of asbestos, RAAC or a simple failure to keep up with maintenance. All need to be made safer, greener, more comfortable places to learn and work.
