Résumé
Background
This umbrella review synthesizes current evidence on the health and safety impacts of climate change among workers. In particular, it aims to identify the main workers' categories at the highest risk, the main health and safety outcomes, methodological limitations, and future directions reported in the literature, as well as preventive strategies described in recent reviews.
Methods
A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Systematic and scoping reviews addressing climate-related occupational health and safety outcomes were included. Study selection and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. Methodological quality was assessed using the ROBIS tool, and findings were synthesized in accordance with PRISMA and PRIOR guidelines.
