CCHOS Releases Resources on Climate Change Impacts on Work

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCHOS) has released a new course, handbook and infographic on the impacts of climate change at work.

These free resources are intended to provide information on the physical and mental strain of climate change on workers, to provide strategies on preparing for and addressing impacts of climate change in the workplace, and to help workplaces be more prepared and resilient.
