Typically, when there is more activity and, therefore, more people working, the chances of workplace accidents increase. Consequently, it is necessary to strengthen prevention measures, as is the case with fires: prevention—implementing the necessary initiatives—is better than cure.

High temperatures can increase work accidents by up to 10%, according to a study published by the Barcelona Association of Technical Architects (CAATEEB) and elaborated with data from all over Spain by the company Estudi IS Global. The most common accidents are heat stroke and burns, while the most affected sectors are agriculture and construction.
