摘要
Climate change is increasing the incidences of extreme weather. Record high temperatures are being experienced more frequently and for extended periods. Subsequently, there is an increased risk of occupational exposures resulting in heat-related illnesses, both acute and chronic. The editorial reviews the processes and tools that are available to assess heat exposure and develop effective controls to help address current and future exposures.
