Global temperatures are now 1.5˚C above pre-industrial averages - and still rising every year This means that intense, once-a-decade heatwaves now happen every 2-3 years

But not everyone experiences this risk equally The time your body spends at unsafe temperatures depends on the work you do - and the roles within that work If you work in the ironing section of a garment factory, then you spend 10x longer at unsafe temperatures than a cutter
