Safety at Green Workplaces
Safety at Green Workspaces
We tend to associate the word “green“ with safety — but what is good for the environment is not necessarily good for the safety and health of workers who are employed in green jobs. In some cases already, we have seen new legislation and technologies, designed to protect the environment, resulting in workers being put at greater risk.
The new technologies or working processes associated with green jobs can lead to new hazards, which call for new combinations of skills to deal with them.
The speed at which the green economy is expected to expand could lead to skills gaps, with inexperienced workers involved in processes that they have not been trained for, and who therefore put their safety and health at risk.
If green jobs are to be truly sustainable, we need to make sure that they benefit workers' safety and health, as well as the environment.
