Synopsis

Cold weather puts workers at risk — but most cold stress injuries are preventable. Every year, crews face hypothermia, frostbite, and lost work time because cold hazards are underestimated. This practical field guide gives safety leaders clear steps to recognize hazards, protect workers, and keep operations safe and productive through the winter season.

Inside you’ll find:
• Clear explanations of cold stress, hypothermia, and frostbite — written in plain language.
• Field-tested controls for work at height, on the ground, and below grade.
• Quick-reference tables for wind chill, frostbite time, and work/rest cycles.
• A symptom escalation guide — when to stop work and when to call EMS.
• Leadership strategies to build accountability and protect crews in extreme cold.

Trusted guidance. Grounded in OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH research, Dr. Honeycutt translates complex safety science into practical tools you can use on the jobsite today.

Part of a proven series. Cold & Hypothermia is one volume in the Building a Safety Culture That Lasts™ series — concise, field-ready guides that help leaders move beyond compliance and make safety part of daily work.

Stay ahead of the cold. Protect your crew. Build a safety culture that lasts.
