Working in Cold Temperatures
A cold environment challenges the worker in three ways: by air temperature, air movement (wind speed), and humidity (wetness). To work safely, these challenges have to be counterbalanced by proper insulation (layered protective clothing), by physical activity and by controlled exposure to cold (work/rest schedule).
The risk of cold injury can be minimized by proper equipment design, safe work practices and appropriate clothing.
We’ve rounded up our best suggestions for winter products so that you can be safe and snug when the thermostat drops well below zero.
