Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe >
While 2023 was already considered the hottest year on record, two-thirds of Europe has been experiencing very hot weather since June 2024. What are the implications for workers’ health and safety? What can be done to prevent risks in Europe? EUROGIP takes stock of these issues in the second episode of its new video series, the “Discussions d’EUROGIP”.
Four speakers representing the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), the French Directorate-General for Labour (DGT) and EUROGIP discuss the following main topics:
- Periods of extreme heat and risks in the workplace
- How is extreme heat measured?
- What does the European legislation say?
- What concrete measures at the Community level?
- A specific directive?
- And in France, what is the situation?
