"Early warning systems do seem to work. Workers who reported recalling getting a heat alert had a lower probability of reducing their working hours and a lower probability of experiencing heat related health effects."

@shourodasgupta.bsky.social & I wrote an @lseblogs.bsky.social on heat & the UK workforce.

We are not used to heatwaves in the UK, insufficient adaptation, insufficient cooling, and worker health is being harmed.

Our "Recently collected evidence suggests that UK workers do feel that their health is being harmed by heat, & many are reducing their working & and effort to help deal with the heat."

Great to present joint work with @profejzrobinson.bsky.social at the @physoc.bsky.social #GCHS2025.

Adaptation including #EWS are partially effective in protecting workers from heat but still insufficient.

Clear scope for government interventions: max temperature regulation & better targeted EWS
Delighted to have the opportunity to engage with @physoc.bsky.social at #GCHS2025
In the picture, my co-author @shourodasgupta.bsky.social, presenting our work on heat and the labourforce

Plenty of scope for better adaptation and worker protection

A climate change induced tragedy. A 47-year-old construction worker died in Emilia-Romagna due to high heat. Construction workers are amongst the most vulnerable to heat stress.

We need proactive labour protection policies. Protecting workers from heat is protecting human rights.

#Climatechange is already affecting occupational health & safety.

More than 2.4 billion workers are exposed to excessive heat at work annually.

Time for proactive labour protection measures everywhere.

The labour impacts indicator by Prof @profejzrobinson.bsky.social & me is featured on the #EEA European Climate and Health Observatory!

Findings clearly show non-linear impact of temperature on working hours. Losses in Cent-East, West, & Southern (large) Europe but gains up North.
