Keep Safety on TRACK: Cold Weather Injuries Prevention Spending time in cold temperatures for an extended period of time can cause injuries such as hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot. Here are some tips to prevent cold weather injuries: 1. Dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures or physical activity; wear the proper clothing for cold, wet, and windy conditions such as wool or synthetic insulated socks, shoes, gloves, and hats 2. Work on-site together so co-workers notice danger signs in each other 3. Drink plenty of warm beverages; avoid caffeine 4. Take breaks in a heated area to warm up if needed 5. Seek medical attention immediately if someone is experiencing symptoms of hypothermia, which includes - but is not limited to - uncontrolled shivering, slurred speech, loss of coordination, fatigue, confusion, or disorientation A special thank you to Keystone Contractors Association and Executive Director, Jon O'Brien, for this week's #ToolboxTalk #KeepSafetyOnTRACK #ColdWeatherInjuries #Prevention #Railroad
