Cold Stress In Construction Environments

Cold stress can be life-threatening. Being among the most vulnerable to cold stress, construction workers need to know how to pre-empt, recognize, and minimize its effects, which is the purpose of this course.

Upon defining when, where, and how cold stress occurs, this course teaches workers what they need to know to work safely in cold environments. Collectively, the five topics in this course – What Is Cold Stress?; Cold-Related Conditions; Treating Cold-Related Conditions; Safe Work Practices In Cold Environments; Engineering Controls And Using Tools In Cold Environments – ensure workers can protect themselves from experiencing cold stress and its health risks.

Present this course so all construction workers learn about the different types of cold-related conditions, and how to avoid and treat them if necessary.
