Worker protection from extreme heat and climate-related weather

This procedure addresses the need to protect workers from the health risks posed by extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, which are becoming more frequent due to the climate crisis. It aims to establish minimum requirements for worker protection across the EU.

The proposal will affect workers exposed to high temperatures and other adverse weather conditions, as well as employers who will need to implement new safety measures. It seeks to ensure a safer working environment for all.
