Know the risks of working in heat
Working in heat can be hazardous and can cause harm to workers in both indoor and outdoor work environments.
In the last 10 years from 2008-09 to 2017-18p, there were 1,360 workers’ compensation claims resulting from working in heat.
1,235 of these claims were from working in the sun and 85 of these claims were from working in hot indoor conditions –
Employers have duties under work health and safety laws to manage the risks of working in heat and protect worker health and safety.
