Dress smart
Think layers instead of one thick garment. Don’t forget your feet and head, as these are the areas where you lose heat the fastest.
Safe and warm
- Use insulated safety shoes (make sure they still meet safety standards).
- Choose the right PPE: thermal gloves, neck warmers, thermal underwear, thermal socks, windproof hats or masks.
Stay dry & move
-
Wet clothing cools you down quickly, so stay dry.
-
Move regularly to keep your body temperature up.
Warm moments
-
Schedule breaks to warm up.
-
Drink hot beverages (no alcohol) and have energy-rich snacks. They help your body maintain heat more effectively.
Seek shelter when possible
-
Work in a sheltered area if you can.
-
Check with your supervisor what is possible to avoid any extra risk.
Getting home safely every day—that’s our true success.
