Cold Weather Hazards
Very cold temperatures, like very hot ones, can be hazardous
to your health. Proper dress and some sensible practices can
prevent a lot of the problems associated with cold weather. In
addition knowing the symptoms of danger and how to treat them
can keep problems that do occur from becoming disasters.
PROTECTION AGAINST HAZARDS
The best way to deal with cold problems is to prevent them in the first place. The most sensible approach is to limit exposure to cold, especially if its windy or damp.

If you know youre going to be in cold conditions, dont bathe, smoke, or drink, alcohol just before going out.
Dress for conditions in layers of loose, dry clothes. The most effective mix is cotton or wool underneath, with something waterproof on top.
Get dried or changed immediately if your clothes do get wet.
Be sure to cover hands, feet, face, and head. A hat is critical because you can lose up to 40 percent of your body heat if your head isnt covered.
Keep moving when youre in the cold.
Take regular breaks in warm area. Go where its warm any time you start to feel very cold or numb. Drink something warm, as long as it doesnt contain alcohol or caffeine.
