▍Be aware of the risks involved when working in low temperatures
It is easier to contract respiratory and cardiovascular diseases when working in low temperatures. In order to avoid such risks observe the following steps:
•Special attention for specific industries:Those engaged in outdoor work such as construction, agriculture or fishing should pay close attention to changes in the temperature.
•Establish a mutual support system:Establish a partner-based mutual support system, so workers can help and monitor each other, making it easier to notice if any health issues arise.
•Take steps to keep warm:Wear warm clothing, shoes, a hat, gloves etc. and regularly drink something warm to protect against cold winds and low temperatures.
•Health management measures:Workers with chronic diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis or diabetes should inform their employer so necessary health management measures can be adopted and work adjustments made accordingly.
