Extreme heat and its effects on human health, well-being, and productivity have been at the top of many minds. According to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, approximately 23 million workplace injuries worldwide are caused by exposure to excessive heat and productivity can drop by 50% when temperatures exceed 93.2 F. To aid OEHS professionals, the @Occupational Hygiene Training Association (OHTA) has published this helpful list of global heat stress resources that also includes options for risk assessment.
