Cómo controlar: cold stress
- Schedule outdoor or cold-room work for the warmer parts of the day, and limit time spent in cold, wet conditions.
- Provide heated shelters or warm break areas with warm drinks, and build regular warm-up breaks into the work.
- Use windbreaks and keep workers dry, because wet clothing and wind cool the body much faster.
- Train workers and supervisors to recognise shivering, numbness, clumsiness and confusion as early signs of hypothermia, and act on them.
- Provide layered clothing, insulated gloves and headwear, and waterproof outer layers suited to the conditions.
