In Quebec, many people continue to work outdoors during the winter, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, construction, forestry, and outdoor maintenance. However, low temperatures, wind, and moisture can increase health and safety risks throughout the workday.<\/p>\n

Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite and hypothermia. It can also reduce sensation in your hands and make movements more difficult, increasing the risk of mistakes or accidents when using tools and equipment. It is therefore important to pay attention to weather conditions and follow the preventive measures established in your workplace.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To protect yourself, wear appropriate clothing and dress in layers. Use gloves, boots, and clothing that protect you from wind and moisture. If your clothes get wet, change into dry clothing as soon as possible. When conditions allow, use your breaks to warm up in a sheltered, heated area. It is also important to report any situation that makes it difficult to protect yourself from the cold to the person in charge.<\/p>\n

Watch for signs such as persistent shivering, numbness, loss of sensation, clumsiness, or confusion. If you or a coworker experience these symptoms, stop exposure to the cold and move to a safe place to warm up. Confusion or loss of coordination may indicate a serious condition requiring urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Remember that cold is not the only winter hazard. Ice and snow can make surfaces slippery, while some fuel-burning appliances can produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic gas. Never use appliances that produce combustion gases in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces unless they are designed for use under those conditions.<\/p>\n

InfoTET<\/strong><\/a> from Immigrant Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/a> reminds you that protecting your health at work is essential. Learn about the safety measures in place at your workplace, use appropriate protective equipment, and report any hazards you observe. Prevention and vigilance help reduce accidents during the winter.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
