Keeping the Chill Out: Working Safe in Cold Weather EHS Today
There has been a lot of cold storms coming through the US this week and although I usually work on project management and reports, I was one shivering in the cold on Monday morning to start off a chemical remediation project. But for those who work in much colder conditions and for longer periods of time, this article is a reminder. Layer your clothes with gloves and hat. If your feet and hands are warm, this is a great start. You also need to keep up with the fluids.
When working in cold temperatures, the best defense is common sense. Knowing what to wear, what to eat and drink and what to do if an employee is suffering from a cold-related illness can save lives.
