Workers on farms and ranches are at increased risk of cold-related injuries like hypothermia, frostbite, and muscle strain during winter operations. This training covers essential knowledge and safety practices to help agricultural teams recognize, prevent, and respond to winter weather hazards.
Use cases
- When preparing farm or ranch workers for outdoor tasks in extremely cold or wet winter conditions
- For onboarding new employees during the winter season or before cold snaps
- As a refresher before heavy winter chores such as livestock care, equipment repair, or fencing
Why it works
- Outlines practical layering and clothing strategies specifically suited for agricultural work
- Teaches staff to recognize early warning signs of cold-related illness in themselves and coworkers, improving response times
- Reduces the risk of productivity loss or injury by addressing the ways cold impacts dexterity, muscle power, and tool use in farm/ranch settings
