If you cannot avoid extremely cold situations – including windchill – follow these recommendations to protect yourself:
❄Wear several layers of loose clothing. Layering provides better insulation.
❄Make sure to protect the ears, face, hands and feet in extremely cold weather. ❄Boots should be waterproof and insulated. Wear a hat; it will keep your whole body warmer.
❄Move into warm locations during work breaks and try to limit the amount of time outside on extremely cold days.
❄ Carry cold weather gear, such as extra socks, gloves, hats, jacket, blankets, a change of clothes and a thermos of hot liquid.
❄Avoid touching cold metal surfaces with bare skin.
