When weather wounds workers : the impact of temperature on workplace accidents
Drescher, Katharina; Janzen, Benedikt - 2023
We study the effects of temperature on occupational health using administrative data on Swiss occupational accidents from 1996 to 2019. Our results imply that on hot days (Tmax ≥ 30 degrees Celsius) the number of occupational accidents increases by 7.4% and on ice days (Tmax 0 degrees...
