Working in the cold -- reminders

2/5/2021

0 Comments

 
With extreme temperatures moving into Alberta this week, remind your staff to take precautions working outdoors, even for short periods of time. 

Safety reminders: 
  • Wear warm head covering.
  • Layer clothing to allow sweat to escape and trap heat.
  • Protect hands and feet. Wear waterproof boots and always wear gloves or mittens.
  • Pace any vigorous work with scheduled breaks away from the cold. Fatigue is a risk factor in the cold.
  • Stay hydrated. Limit the amount of coffee or tea and (always) avoid alcohol.
  • When possible, heat the working environment. For example, heated shelters help protect construction workers from cold and damp environments.

  • For those companies with trucks and vehicles withe employee drivers, remember as an employer you should: 
  • Develop winter driving safe work procedures and a safety policy
  • Communicate with workers about winter driving safety
  • Monitor and evaluate winter driving practices​

If you need help with any of these topics please let us know, so we can assist you. 

Assess the hazards, address the hazards, and stay safe!
