COLD STRESS: AVOIDING COLD-RELATED INJURIES AND ILLNESSES
Did you know: The average lost-time claim due to winter slip and fall injuries at work is $45,000?
Winter is almost here! If your construction or general industry employees work indoors or out, they may be exposed to cold stress. This can lead to thermal discomfort and in some cases even severe injuries, illnesses, or death.
The responsibility rests with leadership to prepare their employees for these dangerous dynamics. But this is NOT your typical webinar on this topic – COVID-19 has introduced another layer of challenges that must addressed.
In this webinar, you will understand and prepare for:
- The risk factors, how the body reacts to cold conditions, and the wind chill effect
- How the body maintains thermal balance
- The injuries/illnesses caused by exposure to
cold/treatment - Slip/trip/fall techniques for icy conditions
