Safeguarding Worker Health and Safety from a Changing Climate:: Delaware's Climate-Ready Workforce Pilot Project.

Changing climate conditions threaten the health and safety of the State of Delaware's most important assets: its workforce. Building on momentum at the state level to assess climate risks and implement relevant adaptation actions, five state agencies implemented the Climate- Ready Workforce Pilot Project to identify and safeguard at-risk workers from the impacts of extreme events such as storms and floods as well as extreme temperatures. Findings indicate that the five participating agencies have an important foundation of worker health and safety policies, procedures and practices.
