F. Rotate workers wearing protective clothing during hot weather. <br /> 13.9 Exposure - Cold Stress <br /> Work schedules will be adjusted to provide sufficient rest periods in a heated area for <br /> warming up during operations conducted in cold weather. Also thermal protective <br /> clothing such as wind and/or moisture resistant outerwear is recommended to be worn. <br /> If work is performed continuously in the cold at or below -7°C (20°F), including wind <br /> chill temperature, heated warming shelters (tents, cabins, company vehicles, rest <br /> rooms, etc.) shall be made available nearby and the worker should be encouraged to <br /> use these shelters at regular intervals, the frequency depending on the severity of the <br /> environmental exposure. The onset of heavy shivering, frostnip, the feeling of <br /> excessive fatigue, drowsiness, irritability or euphoria are indications for immediate <br />' return to the shelter. When entering the heated shelter, the outer layer of clothing <br /> shall be removed and the remainder of the clothing loosened to permit sweat <br /> evaporation. A change of dry work clothing shall be provided as necessary to prevent <br />' worker from returning to their work with wet clothing. Dehydration, or the loss of <br /> body fluids, occurs in the cold environment and may increase the susceptibility of the <br /> worker to cold injury due to a significant change in blood flow to the extremities. <br /> Warm sweet drinks and soup should be provided at the work site to provide caloric <br /> intake and fluid volume. The intake of coffee should be limited.
