Cold Conditions Safety Policy
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.
