The project aims to provide EU-OSHA with a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the policy and regulatory frameworks that address occupational risks stemming from climate change, at both the EU and national levels. The study will analyse legislative and non-legislative instruments that either explicitly address climate change-related occupational hazards or have significant implications for preventing and managing such risks. It will identify how effectively the existing policy framework addresses emerging climate-related occupational risks and highlight gaps and limitations, as well as areas where further policy development or improved implementation may be required.
The study is aimed primarily at policy makers and public authorities working in the fields of occupational safety and health and public health, as well as OSH professionals, researchers, social partners and workplace stakeholders who are involved in the design, implementation and monitoring of policies aimed at protecting workers from climate-related risks. By mapping regulatory approaches across EU and national levels and examining selected case examples of initiatives implemented in Member States, the project will provide a robust evidence base to support policy development, regulatory improvements and the dissemination of effective practices in managing climate change-related OSH risks across Europe.
