Climate Change, Workplace Accidents, and COVID-19

Carol Green

The diverse impacts of the pandemic and climate change on employee health and wellbeing call for the development and implementation of improved strategic solutions. With an emphasis on the effects of severe air temperatures and natural disasters, this review's first objective is to evaluate how climate change affects occupational accidents. Its second goal is to analyses the pandemic's significance in this situation. Our findings indicate that the effects of climate change on workers include physical and psychological effects while they are at work as well as changes to the working environment and circumstances. All of these effects can lead to stress, which raises the likelihood of having a work accident.
