When it comes to safety footwear, one size does not fit all. Just
as with other types of personal protective equipment (PPE), many
work environments and hazards require specific types of footwear
if workers are to be properly protected.
When working in conditions colder than minus 10, workers should
wear arctic footwear, not typical steel-toe safety shoes.
Generally, such cold temperatures present more of a risk to feet
than a potential crushing hazard. When choosing the appropriate
footwear for cold-environment applications, a boot's warmth
factor should be considered.
A frequent partner of cold weather is ice. Getting a grip on this
frozen hazard takes more than wearing slip-resistant and cold-
weather footwear.
When trying to prevent slips and falls, especially in outdoor
situations, there are two main goals: increase traction as much as
possible in areas that may cause accidents, such as ice, snow, oil
or grease; and create the ability to wear footwear all the time.
Workers may tend to leave on footwear that is inadequate for
certain slick situations because of the hassle of changing their
shoes or boots.
Winter has come to stay for a while so please keep your workers
safe from the cold as well as slips, trips and falls by making sure
each situation is assessed and the correct footwear is being
utilized at each and every moment.
IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT

3. The Transportation department held a meeting on November 8th for our newly
hired mixer drivers. The morning was filled with training on cold weather
concrete procedures, including a demonstration of how to properly drain the
water tank on a mixer truck. Safety procedures along with G.O.A.L. were
reviewed. There was great participation among all who were in attendance. The
meeting ended with backing practice for everyone.
A big “thank you” goes out to Bobby Rudeck and Luis Burgos for taking the
lead, along with our driver trainers: Alan Bottorf, Scot Brown, Bryan Freed,
Mike Reiner, Frank Reinhold, and Chip Evans.

Hot or Cold?
Using hot water to wash your hands is no
more effective than using cold water.
Studies show the amount of time you
spend washing is more important – so a
10-20 second wash with cold water not
only removes bacteria just as well as hot
water would, it also saves a significant
amount of energy by not using any heat.
