Cold Stress Safety Posters: common questions
What is cold stress?
Cold stress occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it. Cold exposure can lead to hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot. Wind, wet clothing, and prolonged exposure increase the risk, and cold stress can occur even when temperatures are above freezing.
What should cold stress safety posters remind workers to do?
Cold stress safety posters can remind workers to dress in layers, stay dry, take breaks in warm areas, and recognize the warning signs of cold-related illness and injury. Workers should also watch coworkers for symptoms such as shivering, confusion, slurred speech, numbness, or pale skin.
Where should cold stress safety posters be placed?
Place cold stress posters where employees who work outdoors or in cold environments are likely to see them. Good locations include entrances, job trailers, break rooms, vehicle bays, and other areas workers pass through before entering cold conditions.
Will safety posters hold up in a shop or job trailer?
Premium posters are printed on thick, fingerprint-resistant photo paper and are designed for indoor areas such as job trailers, break rooms, offices, and shops. For dusty or high-traffic indoor areas, framed posters provide additional protection behind an impact-resistant acrylic front.
Is shipping free, and how long does it take?
Shipping is free anywhere in the United States. Posters are printed to order and usually ship within 5 business days. Delivery typically takes 5 to 8 business days after that. Digital posters are emailed right after checkout.
