❄️ Winter Toolbox Talk: Dress Smart for Cold Weather ❄️

Cold temps can impact your senses, reaction time, and productivity on the jobsite. The right clothing makes all the difference.

✔️ Dress in layers — snug inner layers, looser outer layers to trap heat
✔️ Use a wind-resistant outer layer
✔️ Don’t over-bundle — overheating leads to sweat
✔️ If you get warm, remove a layer
✔️ Keep clothing dry — wet gear won’t protect you from the cold
✔️ Wear head protection — a lot of body heat is lost through your head
✔️ Protect your feet — wool socks and proper footwear matter
✔️ Layer your gloves — thin wool under leather works best

Staying warm helps you stay safe, focused, and productive all winter long. 🦺 Learn more at https://www.abcnhvt.org/Safety/Safety-Resources-Best-Practices/Toolbox-Talks
