Help your workers protect themselves from the extreme cold
Remind your workers to protect themselves by:
- dressing in layers to block the escape of body heat;
- choosing clothing that provides good insulation to the head, armpits, and groin area where most body heat escapes;
- keeping their nose, ears, cheeks, and chin covered;
- wearing moisture wicking wool socks, and insulated work boots;
- staying dry;
- staying out of the wind;
- eating nutritious high protein foods; and
- staying well hydrated.
