About the Recording
Extreme heat is no longer an occasional summer inconvenience. It is an increasingly predictable natural hazard with direct implications for workforce health, safety, wellbeing and operational resilience.
For organizations operating across Europe and Africa, heat risk can affect far more than outdoor work. It can disrupt indoor operations, PPE-intensive tasks, business travel, commuting, sleep, recovery, mental wellbeing and decision-making.
It can increase the risk of heat illness, errors, absenteeism and productivity loss, while also creating new expectations for employers to assess and manage heat as a workplace hazard.
