Workers are building a railway in Azerbaijan. WHO and WMO released a new report to protect workers from a growing threat of thermal stress Climate and environment About half the world population faces the negative consequences of high temperatures. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Meteorological Organization (VMO) published a new joint report and leadership dedicated to an increasing threat of extreme heat for workers in the world. 62 ~ according to VMO, 2024 & nbsp; the year has become the hottest in the history of observations. Daytime temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius become an increasingly frequent phenomenon, and this indicates the need to urgently take measures to protect workers around the world from growing thermal overloads. 62 > 62 ~Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of periods of abnormal heat, and many people who have to work regularly under the conditions of dangerous loads already feel the consequences of increasing health temperatures. In particular, we are talking about physical work in sectors such as agriculture, construction and fishing. An increase in the number of episodes of heat also provokes an increase in the incidence among vulnerable groups of the population, including children, elderly and low -income persons in developing countries. & Amp; nbsp; ~ 60 > “not only a medical requirement, but also an economic requirement necessity ”“Thermal stress is already damaging the health and economic well -being of billions of workers, especially among the most vulnerable groups of the population, & NBSP;” said the assistant to the general director of the WHO to strengthen the public health, preventing and control of Disease Jeremie Farrar. & Amp; – the new leadership proposes scientifically substantiated practical solutions that helps help Protect the lives of people … in the face of negative factors in the era of global warming. “& nbsp; ~ 60 >~ 60 > read Also: year after the UN calling for action to combat the extreme heat, the world is again in fire ~ 60 > new report “Change of climate and Teplova Teplovaya Stress in production ”prepared on the basis of the results of scientific research and evidence that have been obtained over the past half a century, and clearly indicate that the increase in temperatures is extremely negatively affected by health and labor productivity. ~ 60 >~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62“Thermal stress at the workplace has become a global public problem, which, as the example of the recent abnormal heat in Europe shows, is now relevant not only for countries located closer to the equator, & nbsp;” said the deputy general secretary of VMO Barrett. & Amp; NBSP; “Protection of workers from thermal overstrain & nbsp; – not only a medical requirement, but also economic need. “& nbsp; main conclusions ~ 60 > frequency and intensity of the episodes extremely hot weather sharply hot weather increased, creating additional risks for working both on the street and in the premises. & NBSP; With each degree above 20 degrees Celsius, labor productivity decreases by 2-3 percent. & nbsp; dangerous consequences of heat for the body include thermal struck, dehydration, impaired renal function and neurological disorders – all of them in the future threaten the health of the population and economic safety. & nbsp; 62 > 62 >The leadership formulates a clear algorithm that allows state bodies, employers and health authorities to reduce increasing risks of extreme heat for the working population. In particular, it & nbsp; It is recommended to develop the foundations of a policy of protecting the health of workers from adverse exposure to heat, providing for the preparation of special actions and union -noting schemes, taking into account local weather conditions, the features of various professions and hazardous production factors. It is also necessary to pay special attention to vulnerable groups of the population, especially middle and elderly workers, to persons suffering from chronic diseases, as well as persons with reduced physical endurance, more subject to complications when overheating of the body. 60 > technic leadership and technical leadership of the WHO and WM Recently published reports of the International Labor Organization (ILO), according to which 2.4 & nbsp; billion workers are faced with excessive heat in production, and production injuries caused by this is estimated at more than 22.85 & nbsp; Millorities annually. & nbsp; ~ 60 > against the backdrop of the acceleration of the climatic crisis, the leadership is called to become an important tool that helps the countries to protect people’s lives, their well -being and the national economy from the increasing threat of extreme heat. 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 >
