• Description:
  During the winter, construction workers face a natural hazard – cold weather. The colder it gets, the more energy you need to use to stay warm. When it is also windy and raining or snowing, your body uses even more energy and loses heat faster. Working in cold or freezing temperatures for a long time can lead to health problems.
