Mission & Goals
La Isla Network is the leading global occupational health research organization and consultancy dedicated to protecting workers in a warming world. We are generating, supporting, and executing evidence-driven solutions to protect workers from heat and other occupationally acquired injuries and illnesses, especially those driven by climate change. In the process, we work closely with employers and workers to understand the specific contexts of their industry to adopt the gold standard of worker protections to the reality of their site-specific situation. We work collaboratively with decision makers to improve working conditions, support worker health, and create tailored policies and procedures to ensure occupational protections are being adequately and effectively implemented at all levels.
EU Legislative Interests
We focus on workers rights within the responsibilities of the European commission department Jobs and Social Right EU Directive's 89/654/EEC of 30 November 1989 concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the workplace
