"This study presents a heat job exposure matrix (JEM) that enables epidemiological research on occupational heat stress across Europe and informs policy by identifying high-risk jobs and regions. The JEM integrates occupation-, region-, and year-specific factors in a transparent framework, allowing for updates with new data and extension to other years and regions."
