Communal services workers sweep snow from road in winter.

As weather patterns grow more unpredictable, workplaces need to be ready for temperature extremes in every season.

The Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tool on Heat and Cold helps businesses assess thermal risks and take practical steps to protect workers, from recognising signs of heat or cold stress to adapting work schedules and using suitable personal protective equipment (PPE).

It also supports attention to vulnerable workers and helps strengthen compliance with EU occupational safety and health legislation.
