• Description:
  "The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and The Center for Construction Research and Training - CPWR developed the Construction Toolbox Talks series to raise awareness of workplace hazards and how to prevent injuries and illnesses. This series is free and accessible online. Foremen, supervisors, business owners and safety trainers can use the toolbox talks to lead discussions that focus attention on hazards workers may face that day or week on the job, as well as to supplement or reinforce other safety and health training efforts. The objective of this toolbox talk series is to keep safety front and center at the worksite. Being in freezing or cold temperatures for a long time can result in health problems such as trench foot, frostbite, and hypothermia (below-normal body temperature). Danger signs include uncontrolled shivering, slurred speech, clumsiness, fatigue, and confusion." NIOSHTIC-2
