There are many safety aspects that both employees and employers need to be aware of when working in and around cold storage facilities.

As with any workplace, health and safety regulations are in place to ensure that no one is injured or put at risk.

Working in a cold storage facility means exposure to extreme cold, requiring high physical and mental standards to perform safely. One of the biggest challenges for workers in cold weather is body heat loss. This is largely due to inadequate clothing.

What happens in the body in cold weather?

The body responds to exposure to low temperatures in various ways. Initially, numbness in the fingers and toes and decreased dexterity are observed.

The average heat emitted by a man varies with physical activity in W/min, for example 1.5 at rest, 2.5-3 in light work, 4.5-5 in medium work, and 8 in heavy work.
