Cold Stress

Cold stress occurs when the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature due to exposure to cold environments. When the body is exposed to cold temperatures for prolonged periods, it begins to lose heat faster than it can produce it, leading to a drop in body temperature. This can result in several health issues, including hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot. Cold stress can affect anyone working in cold environments, such as outdoor workers, construction workers, and those in refrigerated environments. It is essential to understand the risks and preventive measures associated with cold stress to ensure the safety and health of individuals exposed to cold conditions.
