Cold Stress

It is estimated that 2,000 workers die each year due to weather-related causes, with 63% of these deaths caused by exposure to cold and/or heat. The Cold Stress course is designed to educate workers on the dangers of cold stress, its symptoms, prevention methods, and appropriate responses to cold-related emergencies. Cold stress occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce, leading to serious health risks such as hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot. This course covers the sources of heat loss, signs of cold stress, and practical steps to prevent and treat cold-related injuries.
