| As extreme weather events become more frequent and temperatures continue to fluctuate due to climate change, employers are being encouraged to take a more proactive approach to worker safety. With thermal stress policies now required in federally regulated sectors and provinces beginning to consider similar expectations, developing a clear health and safety policy for extreme hot and cold conditions is an important step in protecting workers, reducing risk, and preparing for changing environmental conditions before issues arise.
NOTO has developed a customizable Extreme Temperature Health & Safety Policy template to help operators get started. Please note this resource is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. |
