Cold Conditions Safety Policy

Policy · POLICY-70054

  • Version 3
  • Miscellaneous
  • Reads on any phone

The Cold Conditions Safety Policy is designed to protect workers from the risks associated with exposure to cold environments. The policy and associated procedures relate to working outdoors in cold weather conditions, inside cold rooms and freezers, or at altitude.

It sets out the scope and policy statement, what the organisation, supervisors and workers are responsible for, and the safety procedures in place at worksites. A review procedure keeps the policy current, and document control registers track who holds a copy and what has changed.

It includes a Cold Conditions Risk Assessment Form covering environmental conditions, work location, plant, machinery and equipment, worker factors and work hours, with example controls.

It suits organisations with workers exposed to cold conditions, such as construction, outdoor maintenance and cold storage.

PolicyVersion 3

Introduction

Workers who work in cold conditions have a higher-than-average risk of harm due to hot and or humid conditions. Operations involving high air temperatures, radiant heat sources, high humidity and strenuous physical activities have a high potential for causing heat-related illness. Outdoor operations conducted in hot weather and direct sun, such as construction work, asbestos removal, landscaping, and similar activities also increase the risk of heat-related illness in exposed workers.
