Increase in workplace fatalities due to temperature extremes 2021-2022
Earth’s hottest year on record was 2023. Prolonged days of excessive heat and extreme weather events affected many areas throughout the U.S. exposing thousands of workers to heat related illness, health issues, and possible death. Outdoor workers are the most vulnerable to excessive temperatures and often lack access to adequate protection. More attention needs to be paid to this workplace hazard. Employers, supervisors, and workers need to understand the hazards in order to reduce the risk of exposure, recognize and treat symptoms of heat stress, and protect themselves and others.
