Cold conditions present hazards that may seriously impact worker health and safety. Hypothermia is a serious medical condition associated with cold that has the potential to prove fatal to workers. Frostbite may lead to tissue death, amputation, or permanent inability to use an appendage. Factors ranging from wind chill and length of exposure to the physical and medical condition of workers may heighten the risks.
