Working Outside in the Canadian Winter (Episode 76 relaunch)

Working Outside in the Canadian Winter (Episode 76 relaunch)

During the winter months in Canada, the weather can get extremely cold, and workers in industries such as construction, transportation, and electrical utilities oftentimes endure frigid temperatures and face the risk of experiencing cold stress.

On this 100th episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Jasmine Kalsi, IHSA's Occupational Hygienist, revisits the topic of cold stress, a highly important topic that was discussed in depth on Episode 76 of the IHSA Safety Podcast. Cold stress occurs when the human body's core temperature drops below 37 degrees Celsius, which can result in cold-related illnesses, tissue damage, and even death.

We invite you to listen to this relaunched episode of Episode 76, which provides additional resources on cold stress as well as guidance for Ontario employers on how to manage the risks of working outside in the winter to ensure worker safety.

IHSA offers a range of free resources on cold stress such as safety talks, advisories, articles, and a dedicated topic page on winter hazards.
