Description
In some industries, being outside for long periods is part of the job. During the winter, working outside can be a challenge
Cold temperatures and icy conditions, can cause hazards at the workplace. Working in the cold winter weather is in some ways similar to working during extreme heat. If you are not prepared for it, you expose yourself to unnecessary risks.
As temperatures can get quite low, working outside during the winter can lead to cold stress. Furthermore, the wind and wet cloth can increase the issue with taking heat away from your body.
Our cold weather toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where employees are working outside during the winter months or in cold environments.
