About the Course
Join Us for the OSHA New York City Region Winter Weather Safety Awareness Webinar!
Winter weather brings more than frosty mornings and snowy landscapes – it has a profound impact on the human body. Cold stress affects millions of workers nationwide both in outdoor and indoor environments. Cold injuries may be mild to severe and can result in death. Join the OSHA NYC Region Compliance Assistance Specialists as we present an in-depth webinar exploring how exposure to cold temperatures affects physiological processes.
Our speaker will be W. Jon Williams, PhD., Research Physiologist at the NIOSH/CDC, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Topics Include:
- How the human body responds to cold stress to maintain a normal body temperature
- What may happen when the body cannot maintain a normal body temperature
- Common, cold related, injuries and health risks that workers may be exposed to on the job
- Means to prevent cold injuries and treatment protocols
- This informative session will provide an overview of the subject of cold and the effects on our bodies as well as provide practical tips for staying safe and healthy during winter weather
