🦺 For many workers, heat is a serious hazard.

1.5 billion workers - 25% of the global workforce - work outdoors. These workers
face health risks from extreme heat and pollution.

Protections for outdoor workers in the heat must include:
📋 A written plan, agreed with workers, on what to do when it gets dangerously hot.
⏸ Scheduled rest breaks in a cooling area and/or change in working schedule
💧 Access to drinking water, hygienic toilets, and handwashing stations throughout
the shift
🧢 Appropriate heat-protective and personal protection equipment
👥 Buddy checks for early signs of heat illness
🛑 The right and permission to stop work when feeling unwell

Check guidance that helps employers and governments protect workers from
extreme heat.
