Extreme heat puts workers at risk. OiRA can help.

As heatwaves intensify across Europe, heat exposure is becoming a serious threat to workers’ health.

The Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tool on heat and cold helps companies assess thermal hazards and identify appropriate preventive measures. 

These may include adapting work organisation, planning rest breaks, improving access to drinking water, shade and ventilation, providing suitable protective equipment, and helping workers recognise the early signs of heat stress.

The tool also helps employers consider the specific needs of vulnerable workers and supports compliance with EU occupational safety and health requirements.

Discover the OiRA tool on heat and cold and help bring heat prevention to more workplaces this summer. It is also available in Spanish and Catalan, and is under development for Greece, Portugal and Croatia.
