Safety at work in cold environments and prevention of cold stress.
@article{Anttonen2009SafetyAW, title={Safety at work in cold environments and prevention of cold stress.}, author={H. Anttonen and A. Pekkarinen and J. Niskanen}, journal={Industrial health}, year={2009}, volume={47 3}, pages={ 254-61 } }
The questions related to safety at work in cold environments and prevention of cold stress in working life are described in this article. Working in the cold environment is more dangerous than the same type of work in a warmer climate. All researchers have concluded that the frequency of accidents/versus temperature curves follow the U-shape with the minimum near 20 degrees C. The effects of low temperature can be divided into direct, typically frostbites, and indirect, of which the indirect… CONTINUE READING
