Cold stress isn’t just a winter problem.

Workers can experience dangerous cold conditions indoors or outdoors, even during the summer. Indoor workers may move between extreme heat and extreme cold throughout the day, especially in environments like poultry processing plants, where refrigerated areas can be extremely cold. Workers in our poultry processing worker base have shared that they experience extreme cold at work. Prolonged exposure can lead to cold stress, frostbite, trench foot, and other serious health risks. 🧤 Workers deserve a safe workplace. Employers should provide proper PPE and warm clothing, training on cold hazards, safe work practices, and opportunities to warm up. Learn the signs of cold stress and how workers can protect themselves and their coworkers. ❄️ #WorkerRights #WorkersRights #ColdStress #WorkplaceSafety #PoultryWorkers #ImmigrantWorkers #WorkerSafety
