Abstract Exacerbating novel and known occupational hazards, climate change is threatening the occupational setting and OEHS professionals are being forced to adapt to the quickly changing world. Faced with the question of how to minimize workers exposure to the hazards, many professionals are left wondering if there are others facing similar issues to collaborate with. In this workshop, OEHS professionals from around the world will participate in a world cafe by rotating through 5 tabletop conversations exploring the most pressing challenges addressing climate change exacerbated hazards in the occupational setting. Each table will be representative of a different region of the world and facilitated by an OEHS professional from that region. Facilitators will share their experiences and encourage others to share their experiences and ideas in addressing the hazards. Dialogue will promote collaboration, knowledge sharing that will leave participants with a network of support and new ideas to enact in their workplace. The concerns and ideas taken from the conversation will be used to develop a summary presenting the discussed major occupational hazards exacerbated by climate change and ideas to address occupational hygiene and worker health protection through the minimization of worker exposure to those discussed hazardous agents.
