This opinion is therefore expected to influence future EU measures to protect workers from occupational heat exposure. All three interest groups represented in the ACSH—employers, workers, and governments—acknowledge that heat at work is a serious issue. Heat exposure poses significant threats to the safety and health of workers, particularly those engaged in outdoor or physically demanding jobs. The impact extends beyond individual health: heat stress slows productivity, increases the need for breaks, and raises the risk of errors and accidents, endangering lives. The Employers’ Interest Group claims that existing EU OSH legislation is sufficient to protect workers from heat and that only non-binding guidance is needed.
