Cold Weather Health And Safety, Jill Webster Jan 1999

Cold Weather Health And Safety, Jill Webster

All Current Publications

Farm and ranch work in cold weather can be life threatening.

Both can affect the victim’s ability to work safely. It is important to remember that hypothermia can occur in mild as well as severe weather.
