气候变化导致全球气温上升及天气不稳定,对户外劳动者的职业安全与健康构成日益严峻的挑战。
中新社曼谷11月8日电 (王茜 李映民)泰国职业安全、职业健康与工作环境促进研究所所长南猜8日表示,气候变化导致全球气温升高、天气状况日趋不稳定,给劳动者健康和职业安全带来风险,其中户外工作者及高风险环境中的劳动者面临的威胁尤为突出。
南猜指出,气候变化带来的劳动安全风险主要包括六个方面:极端高温、紫外线辐射、极端天气、空气污染、病媒传播疾病,以及其他间接健康与安全风险。持续高温可能导致劳动者出现热应激、热衰竭甚至中暑;长时间暴露于紫外线下,则可能损害皮肤和眼睛健康。在极端天气方面,暴雨、风暴、洪水和山体滑坡可能影响工作场所及通勤道路安全,增加工作事故风险。空气污染方面,PM2.5、PM10及近地面臭氧可能影响劳动者呼吸系统健康。此外,气温和降雨量变化还可能为病媒生物传播创造条件,增加劳动者患病风险。
南猜还提到,气候变化可能通过疲劳、精神压力、休息不足等间接因素影响劳动者健康,降低工作效率,增加操作失误和事故发生的可能性。建筑、运输和农业劳动者属于风险较高的群体,分别面临户外高温、恶劣天气、道路能见度下降以及接触病媒生物等风险。
泰国劳工部长朱拉汶强调,应加强对气候变化影响的监测和应对准备,提高企业、雇主及劳动者的风险意识,并完善劳动者健康保护措施。
南猜建议,企业将气候变化风险纳入职业安全与健康管理体系,通过识别工作环境中的潜在危险、评估风险等级、制定防护措施及完善应急预案等方式加强防范。具体措施包括设置遮阳和休息区域、保障饮水供应、改善排水系统、根据天气调整工作时间,以及配备适当的个人防护装备。

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 occurred in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan in the early morning of the 8th, and a magnitude 5 earthquake was observed in Aichi Prefecture. Because the epicenter was located in the predicted area for huge earthquakes in the Nankai Trough, people panicked. The Meteorological Agency held a press conference and stated that the correlation between the two was low, but reminded that we need to be prepared for aftershocks in the coming week.

The Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue a cold wave blue warning at 18:00 on November 8. It is expected that from 20:00 on the 8th to 08:00 on the 10th, the temperature will drop by 6 to 12°C in many parts of my country, with local temperatures reaching more than 14°C. The minimum temperature line of 0°C will press southward from southern Shaanxi to southern North China to southeastern Huanghuai.

The Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue blue gale warnings at 18:00 on November 8. It is expected that from 20:00 on the 8th to 20:00 on the 9th, there will be winds of magnitude 5 to 6 and gusts of magnitude 7 to 8 in some areas of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places; there will be strong winds of magnitude 7 to 8 and gusts of magnitude 9 to 10 in many sea areas.

The Central Meteorological Administration stated that the northeast monsoon, the most obvious sign of autumn, will start tonight, and the temperature will feel cooler across Taiwan. In northern Taiwan, it dropped to 17 degrees early Tuesday morning, and there was rain on the windward side. In addition, Typhoon Chapaca has no impact on Taiwan's weather, but coastal areas need to be careful of long waves.

The COP31 Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will be held in Antalya, Turkey from the 9th to the 20th. The Ministry of Environment has simultaneously launched the "Climate Pulse. Taiwan Colleagues" series of forums. Each forum will arrange a live briefing on COP31. Environment Minister Peng Qiming will preside over the "AI for Climate, Climate for AI" forum. The event will be bilingual in Chinese and English and will be broadcast live.

The Hualien Branch of the Forestry and Conservation Service of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Chinese Disaster Prevention Society used an unmanned ship equipped with sonar sounding equipment to detect the underwater topography of the Wanli Creek barrier lake in Wanrong Township for the first time. The water storage volume was revised from about 5.17 million cubic meters to about 4.52 million cubic meters. The measured data was incorporated into the hydraulic calculation model to improve the simulation accuracy of the overflow peak and downstream impact range under extreme rainfall.
