A nationwide analysis of heat and workplace injuries in the United States - Environmental Health Background Exposure to heat leads to physiological and cognitive impairments that increase the risk of workplace injuries. This study estimates the number and proportion of work injuries reported to the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that can be attributed to heat exposure. These estimates contribute to the calculation of the benefits of standards, policies, and programs that reduce workplace exposure to extreme heat. Methods We analyzed all 2023 injury cas...

NEW: As osha.gov considers a federal heat safety standard, a hsph.harvard.edu study finds that ~28k workplace injuries were attributed to heat in 2023 & states w/ heat standards had lower risks of injuries on hot days.
