	abstract={This study comprehensively assesses the effects of exposure to temperature extremes on workplace health, safety, and economic outcomes. Using Japanese prefecture-level data on work-related injuries and fatalities (2014-–2019) combined with weather records, we estimate that higher temperatures significantly increase work-related injuries and their associated social costs. When exposed to temperature extremes, workers neither reduce their working hours nor exit the labor force. Furthermore, testing the compensating wage differential model reveals minimal wage increases for exposure to temperature extremes. These findings highlight the need for effective policies to mitigate the adverse effects of temperature extremes in the workplace.},
