Extreme weather is no longer a rare disruption. In the UK, climate-related events such as flooding, heatwaves, storms and wildfires are not only more frequent but also more intense. And yet, emergency training in many organisations still follows the same assumptions it did a decade ago.

When you think about workplace safety, you might picture a busy construction site or a crowded warehouse floor, but some of the highest-risk roles in the UK today are carried out by lone workers.
For organisations with staff working remotely or in the field, climate change causes unpredictable events which create new safety risks that demand rapid and flexible response strategies.
