摘要

极端高温会对认知、学习和任务表现产生负面影响。因此,随着全球气温的升高,工人患工伤和疾病的风险可能会增加。这项研究利用澳大利亚强制性保险计划1985-2020年的记录估计了温度对工人健康的影响。高温会导致更多的索赔,尤其是在户外行业的体力劳动者中。这些不利影响并没有随着时间的推移而减少,2015-2020年期间观察到的影响最大,这表明人们越来越容易受到高温的影响。在职业中,受高温影响最大的工人是女性、年龄较大、收入较高。最后,公司层面的小组分析结果显示,在“更安全”的公司,高温天气索赔的百分比增幅最大。

Heat and worker health

Extreme heat negatively impacts cognition, learning, and task performance. With increasing global temperatures, workers may therefore be at increased risk of work-related injuries and illness. This study estimates the effects of temperature on worker health using records spanning 1985–2020 from an Australian mandatory insurance scheme. High temperatures are found to cause significantly more claims, particularly among manual workers in outdoor-based industries. These adverse effects have not diminished across time, with the largest effect observed for the 2015–2020 period, indicating increasing vulnerability to heat. Within occupations, the workers most adversely affected by heat are female, older-aged and higher-earning. Finally, results from firm-level panel analyses show that the percentage increase in claims on hot days is largest at "safer" firms.
