Cold Weather Work 

Working in cold weather can expose workers to environmental cold injuries. Hundreds of workers report cases involving days away from work caused by exposure to environmental cold each year.

Cold stress happens when your body cannot regulate its temperature. First your skin temperature drops, then your core body temperature.

Types of Cold Stress:

• Hypothermia
• Frostbite
• Trench Foot

Factors affecting higher risk of cold stress:

• High Wind Speeds
• Working in Wet or Damp Environments
• Dressing Improperly for the Weather
• Health Problems like Hypertension, Hypothyroidism, and Diabetes
• Exhaustion and Poor Physical Fitness

Prevent Cold Stress by:

Monitor Yourself and Others for Cold Stress Symptoms - uncontrolled shivering, loss of cordination, slurred speech and confusion, slow breathing/heart rate, reddened skin/blisters, gray or white patches in the extremities, tingling/pain/swelling/numbness, and leg cramps

Wear the Right Clothes - At least three layers of loose fitting clothing, an insulated jacket, a knit mask to cover your face/mouth, a hat that covers your ears, insulated gloves, insulated/waterproof boots.

Use Engineering Controls, Safet Work Practices, and PPE - clear snow and ice from walking surfaces, take short steps and walk at a slower pace.
