Cap-and-Trade Regulations in California
The authors argue that a climate change can have health effects on workers and people, and one of the causes of the climate change is the greenhouse emission that increases exposure to extreme weather conditions and heat, which can consequently lead to the distribution of air pollution, vector-borne disease, exposure to ultraviolet radiations, and increase illness within the work environment. In response the health effects of the climate changes and greenhouse emission within the work environment, the California government promulgates the cap-and-trade regulation to assist community and employers complying with the health regulation in California.

Moreover, a quality health increases the high rate of employment, increases household budgets and enhances insurance status.

A combination of other factors is required to enhance employment growth rate. Maxwell et al. (2012) added that the implementation of the cap-and-trade alone…

Unlike our predecessors in the mines and mills and factories - and even offices - we today expect our workplaces to be safe. We consider this a birthright - that our employers should design and monitor the workplace in such a way that we are allowed to do our job without any undue risk for ourselves. And yet, of course, this is not a birthright but rather a legal protection
