This initiative will leverage the implementation of standards to protect working people from heat stress, UV rays, and air pollution by creating and using protocols and tools to keep workers and the public safe from extreme heat and its risks. The effort will help workplaces better manage heat exposure and strengthen health systems to protect workers against environmental dangers in high-risk areas. By developing strategies for risk communication and engaging with communities, the initiative seeks to protect workers creating infrastructure and providing services for mass gatherings and sports events from exposure to extreme heat, air pollution and solar radiation and providing them with adequate water and sanitation and occupational health services. Additionally, it aims to raise awareness and advocate for strong policies, regulations, and monitoring systems for prevention of environmental health risks in workplaces through effective communication and partnerships.
