Climate Change and the Workplace
Climate change is a serious concern for worker health and safety. It affects workers through rising temperatures, air pollution, extreme weather, biological hazards, and indoor climate control. The effects of climate change impact both indoor and outdoor workers, causing both to be vulnerable to a variety of hazards in the workplace. While workers of all kinds may be impacted by climate change, marginalized groups are on the front line of environmental hazards. The information below serves as an overview of how climate change is and will impact the workplace in the future. While policymakers play a major role in addressing climate change, employers can take steps to be aware and act to protect their workers.
