Fighting Off Old Man Winter
For many people, working or playing in cold weather can be a positive experience.
You may feel invigorated by the bracing air and feel like doing your work with more
physical energy than usual. When it comes to leisure, cold weather offers many
enjoyable activities whether it's skiing, skating, snowmobiling or ice fishing.
Unfortunately, all the enjoyable aspects of working or playing out in cold weather
can turn negative if you are not dressed warmly or dryly enough.
Never underestimate winter's blast. They call winter an "old man" but he's far
from frail. In fact, he's apt to strike a deadly blow when you least expect it.
Here are some tips for battling old man winter
 Learn to recognize some of the environmental and workplace conditions that may
be dangerous. For example, it needn't be bone chillingly cold, with a howling wind for you
to be at risk for developing hypothermia. It can happen in above-freezing temperatures.
 Learn the signs and symptoms of cold-induced illnesses and injuries and what to do to help others. Use the buddy
system - work in pairs so that others can recognize danger signs.
 Wear proper clothing for cold, wet, and windy conditions, including layers that can be adjusted to changing conditions.
 Wear the right gloves for the work you are doing. Gloves should have enough insulation to keep you warm and prevent
frostbite, but be thin enough so you can feel what you are doing if you are manipulating controls or tools.
 Avoid exhaustion or fatigue because energy is needed to keep muscles warm. Take frequent short breaks in a warm
dry shelter to allow yourself to warm up. Try to schedule outside work or play for the warmest part of the day.
 Try to keep moving while in the cold; don't be still. This helps to keep your body temperature up and circulation moving.
If you think you are experiencing symptoms of hypothermia or frostbite, get to a shelter right away and seek medical help.
 In addition to dressing properly for cold conditions, it's important to eat regularly when you are out in the cold,
especially foods high in carbohydrates and fats such as hot pasta dishes. Your body requires an enormous number of
calories to shiver and keep warm.
 When walking on icy and slippery surfaces go slowly and take small steps. Wear shoes or boots with non-slip soles.
Special footwear with cleats is available for especially slippery conditions.
 Eat winter-weight meals. This does not mean a high fat diet, but one with enough calories
and nutrients to give you the fuel you need. Consider starting with a breakfast of whole
grain cereal and toast.
 Remember, you can face increased risks when you take certain medications, are in
poor physical condition, or suffer from illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, or
cardiovascular disease.
With its cold and often stormy weather, winter presents many safety challenges.
Being prepared and following simple safety tips can help you stay safe and warm this
season.

겨울영감과 싸워서이기기
많은 사람들에게 추운날씨에 여가생활을 하거나 일을하는 것이 좋은경험이 될 수
있습니다. 시원한 공기가 기운을 나게해줄것이고, 일을할때 평소보다 더 힘이
생길것입니다. 추운날씨는 스키, 스케이팅, 스노모바일, 겨울낚시 처럼 즐거운
여가활동들을 제공할것입니다.
불행하게도, 추운날씨에 밖에서 일을하거나 여가생활을 즐길때 생기는 긍정적인
측면들은 옷을 따뜻하게 입지않는다면 부정적인 측면으로 바뀔 수 있습니다.
겨울의 강한 바람을 과소평가 하지마세요. 겨울을 “겨울영감"이라고 부르긴 하지만
겨울은 허약함과는 거리가 멉니다. 실제로, 겨울을 얕보다가 매서운 바람을 맞기
쉽습니다.
겨울영감과 맞서 싸우기위한 여러가지 조언
 주변환경이나 근무장소의 위험할만한 조건을 알아놓으세요. 예를들어 매서운 바람까지불어서 뼈까지 시려오는 추위는
저체온증에 걸릴 위험이 있습니다. 영상의 온도에서도 충분히 일어날 수 있는 일입니다.
 저온유도 질병이나 부상의 징후나 증상을 알아놓고 다른사람이 징후나 증상을 보일때에 도와줄수 있는 방법을 배우세요.
서로의 위험징후를 알수있도록 한쌍씩 짝을 이루는 2인조제를 이용하세요.
 바뀌는 날씨에 맞게 조절해서 입을 수 있는 겉옷을 포함해서 춥거나, 비가오거나, 바람이 많이부는 날씨에 맞는 옷을
입으세요.
 일에 알맞는 장갑을 착용하세요. 장갑은 몸을 따뜻하게 유지해서 동상을 막기위한 절연처리가 되있어야 합니다. 하지만
또한 일을할때 도구를 다루거나 조종할때 불편함이 없도록 장갑이 얇아야합니다.
 탈진이나 피로를 예방하세요. 근육을 따뜻하게 유지하기 위해서는 에너지가 필요합니다. 몸을 따뜻하게 하기위해
따듯하고 건조한 곳에서 수시로 짧은휴식을 취하세요. 하루중에 가장 따뜻한 시간에 밖에서 여가생활을 즐기거나 일을
할수있도록 계획하세요.
 추운곳에서는 가만히 있지말고 계속해서 움직이세요. 계속 움직이는것은 체온을 상승시켜주고 혈액순환에 좋습니다.
만약에 저체온증이나 동상의 증상이 나타난다면, 집으로 즉시 돌아가서 의료 도움을 받으세요.
 추운날씨에는 옷을 날씨에 맞게 입는것 외에도, 추운날씨에 밖에있을때 규칙적으로 먹는것또한 중오합니다. 특히
탄수화물이나 지방이 많은 뜨거운 파스타같은 음식을 먹어야합니다. 추위에 몸을 떨거나 몸을 따뜻하게 유지하는데에는
많은 양의 칼로리가 필요합니다.
 얼음이 덮여있거나 미끄러운 표면을 걸을때는 천천히 보폭을 줄여서 걸으세요. 미끄럽지 않은 신발이나 부츠를
신으세요. 스파이크가 달린 특별한 신발은 특히 미끄러운길에서 신을수 있습니다.
 겨울철 체중음식을 드세요. 높은 지방음식을 먹으라는 뜻이 아니라 몸에서 필요햔 연료를
체울만한 영양소와 칼로리가 있는 음식을 먹으라는 뜻입니다. 아침으로 곡물과 토스트를
먹는것도 고려해보세요.
 명심하세요. 특정 약품을 몸 컨디션이 좋지않은 상태에서 먹는다면 위험하며
당뇨병, 고혈압, 심혈관 질병이 발생할수 있습니다.
춥고 험악한 날씨때문에 겨울에는 지켜야할 안전사항이 많습니다.
간단한 안전수칙을 준비해서 잘따른다면 이번 겨울을 안전하고 따뜻하게 보낼수 있습니다.
