First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines whether extreme temperatures, humidity, and wind speed are linked to the occurrence and severity of occupational injuries in Israel. Researchers will analyze data from over 350,000 workplace injuries that occurred between 2020 and 2024, matching each injury to weather conditions at the exact time and location. The goal is to see if certain weather patterns make workplace accidents more likely, which could help improve safety measures.
