Working in cold weather puts strain on the body. To stay safe, workers should securely tie down supplies, wear protective headgear, take warm breaks, sweep water inside buildings, clean work surfaces of ice and snow, work with a partner, drink warm sweet beverages and eat warm high-calorie foods. Frostbite occurs from prolonged exposure to cold or wet conditions and causes burning, numbness, discoloration, pain and blistering of skin that can lead to gangrene or amputation if untreated. To prevent frostbite, wear loose layers and cover exposed skin, and seek warmth at the first sign of pain or cold wet skin.

NIOSH Fast Facts: Protecting Yourself from Cold Stress
Workers exposed to extreme cold are at risk of cold stress, which can cause hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot, and chilblains. Hypothermia occurs when prolonged exposure to cold causes the body to use up its stored energy and can no longer produce heat. Its early symptoms include shivering and loss of coordination, and its late symptoms include blue skin and loss of consciousness. First aid involves warming the body core and seeking immediate medical help. Frostbite causes freezing injury, especially to exposed areas like fingers and toes. Its symptoms include numbness, pain, and bluish skin. First aid is to slowly warm the affected areas. Trench foot results from prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions
Cold Injuries
Frostbite and immersion foot are cold injuries caused by prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions. Frostbite results from actual freezing of tissue and causes numbness, pain, blistering and tissue death. Treatment involves rapid rewarming in warm water followed by pain medication and wound care. Immersion foot occurs in wet, non-freezing environments and causes swelling, blistering and nerve damage. Prevention of both injuries focuses on keeping skin dry and body insulated through proper clothing, activity, hydration and avoiding nicotine use.
Safey Tip: Working in Cold Weather
When cold environment or temperatures cannot be avoided, workers should follow these cold weather tips from NIOSH to protect themselves from cold stress.

FROSBITE
Frostbite refers to skin and tissue damage caused by freezing temperatures below -0.55°C. It is most common in people spending long periods outdoors, the very young/old, and those with circulation problems or taking medications that constrict blood vessels. When exposed to cold, the body prioritizes core warmth by constricting blood vessels in the extremities, causing them to freeze. Frostbite symptoms range from numbness to blistering and blackened skin depending on severity. Immediate first aid includes slowly rewarming the affected area and seeking medical help to assess damage and prevent complications like infection or tissue death.

This poem uses the metaphor of a caged bird to represent slaves. Over 3 stanzas, the speaker expresses that they understand the caged bird's feelings of confinement and desire for freedom. The bird beats its wings against the cage in an attempt to escape until its wings are bloodied. While physically trapped, the bird finds an emotional release through singing, which represents the slave's only means of expressing their longing to be free. The repetitive phrase "I know" indicates the speaker has endured similar experiences of imprisonment due to their race.
Fire and Ice by Robert Frost
The poem "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost considers two possibilities for how the world could end - in fire or in ice. The speaker states that based on their experience of desire, they believe fire would be a more suitable destruction. However, if the world had to perish twice, the speaker thinks hate could accomplish the same level of destruction through ice. The poem suggests two opposing forces - fire representing desire and ice representing hate - that both have the power to bring an end.

Apply salt judiciously and lift bags safely to deice walkways.
COLD WEATHER.docx
COLD WEATHER
Workers who are exposed to extreme cold or work in cold environments may be at risk of cold
stress. Extreme cold weather is a dangerous situation that can bring on health emergencies.
Whenever temperatures drop decidedly below normal and as wind speed increases, heat can
more rapidly leave your body.
Extended exposure to freezing or cold temperatures can result in health problems such as
trench foot, frost bite and hypothermia. Danger signs include uncontrolled shivering, slurred
speech, clumsy movements, fatigue, and confused behavior.
Preventing Injuries Caused by Cold Weather & Safe Work Tips:
• Encourage workers to wear properly clothing for cold, wet and windy
conditions.
• Layer clothing to adjust to changing temperatures.
• Wear a hat and gloves, in addition to underwear that will keep water away
from the skin.
• Use the buddy system; work in pairs of that one worker can recognize
danger signs.
• Drink warm, sweet beverages (sugar water, sports-type drinks) and avoid
drinks with caffeine (coffee, tea, sodas, or hot chocolate) and alcohol.
• Remember, workers face increased risk when they take certain medications,
are in poor physical condition, or suffer from illnesses such as diabetes,
hypertension or cardiovascular disease.
• Make sure to protect your ears, face, hands an feet in extremely cold
weather.
• Boots should be insulated and waterproof.
• Wear a hat; it will keep your whole body warmer.
• Move into warm locations during work breaks; limit amount of time outside.
• Avoid touching cold metal surfaces with bare skin.
• Include a thermometer and chemical hot packs in your first aid kit.

FROSTBITE – A SILENT KILLER Can you spot the symptoms? Frostbite occurs after prolonged exposure to low temperatures or wet working conditions. Frostbite can be dangerous and even life-threatening. That’s why it is important to look for the following symptoms when working in cold temperatures: • Burning or tingling sensations • Partial or complete numbness • Discoloration of the skin • Intense pain • Blistering • Hard or waxy-looking skin Frostbite darkens gradually if left untreated and will eventually turn skin black. Nerve and blood vessel damage can lead to gangrene and amputation of a limb. To prevent frostbite, wear loose-fitting layers of clothing and always cover your hands, feet, nose and ears. At the first sign of pain or if your skin gets cold and wet, it’s time to look for a place to warm up. Compliments of Hardenbergh Insurance Group © 2010-2012 Zywave, Inc. All rights reserved.
