Dubai, UAE: International SOS, world’s leading health and security services company, alerts companies
in the UAE to ensure safety of the workforce with heatwaves expected to become more severe globally.
As heatwaves are most dangerous natural hazards, it can cause extreme health and safety risks for
workers. Almost half of the global population, including over one billion workers, are at risk of being
exposed to high-heat episodes due to higher-than-normal temperatures and heatwaves, which have
already been recorded in June 2024 and this year’s April being the hottest April on record.
