This project aims to estimate the economic loss of workplace heat exposure in Australia. The project will investigate the health services costs of occupational heat-related illnesses/injuries, explore the labour productivity loss and its costs resulting from heat stress at work, and estimate the benefits from a generic heat warning intervention for workplace heat prevention. Outcomes are expected to provide an overview of national economic implications at present and in the future from effective heat stress control, assist the development of work place heat policies, and inform resource allocation to make Australian workplaces well prepared for likely increasing extremely hot weather.

该项目旨在评估澳大利亚工作场所高温暴露造成的经济损失。该项目将调查与高温有关的职业病/伤的医疗服务成本，探讨工作场所高温压力造成的劳动生产率损失及其成本，并评估用于工作场所高温预防的通用高温警告干预措施的好处。预计结果将概述有效的热压力控制对当前和未来国家经济的影响，帮助制定工作场所的热政策，并为资源分配提供信息，使澳大利亚的工作场所为可能出现的日益炎热的天气做好准备。
