The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety released the Climate Change: Workplace Impacts Handbook, which provides an overview of the potential impacts of climate change on the workplace, employers, workers, and output. The handbook was developed to help workplaces take action to identify, assess, control, and monitor climate-related hazards. The guide includes:
- The direct and indirect impacts of climate change on the workplace and the people in it
- How to take climate-related events into account when establishing policies and programs to address their impact on occupational health and safety
- How to consider the impacts of climate change when completing workplace hazard identification and risk assessments
- Potential approaches for addressing climate-related workplace hazards (such as emergency response and implementing safe work practices)
