WCRI’s VP of Research, Sebastian Negrusa, joined attorneys Alan & Jud Pierce on the Workers’ Comp Matters podcast to discuss findings from WCRI's forthcoming study on the impact of excessive heat in the workplace.

As the podcast puts it, "What role does excessive heat in the workplace play in employee injuries? Turns out, it’s a lot. In temperatures of more than 90 degrees, the risk of injury on the job increases by a significant 5%-6%. Excessive heat, the study finds, impairs both cognitive and physical abilities, leaving workers more likely to make mental and physical errors and suffer injuries at work."
