As temperatures drop, workers exposed to cold weather face an increased risk of cold stress. This is especially true for those working outdoors, such as construction crews, snow removal teams, firefighters, and law enforcement officers. Wet clothing, improper dress, exhaustion, and certain health conditions like diabetes and hypertension can all heighten the danger. It’s crucial for workers to stay dry, dress in layers, and take regular breaks in warm environments to reduce the risk of cold stress. Stay aware, stay safe, and take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your team this winter. #ColdStress #WorkplaceSafety #RMCOEH
