FACTS

1. Cold-Induced Slip Risk: Ice buildup, frost, and condensation on freezer floors reduce traction and cause sudden slips during routine walking or material handling.
2. Reduced Dexterity: Cold temperatures numb fingers and stiffen joints, decreasing grip strength and fine motor control when handling tools, boxes, or equipment.
3. Cold Stress Exposure: Prolonged work in freezer environments lowers core body temperature, increasing the risk of hypothermia and fatigue-related errors.
4. Bulky PPE Limitation: Insulated gloves and layered clothing restrict movement, visibility, and reach, increasing awkward postures and delayed reactions.
5. Condensation Transition Hazard: Moving between warm and cold zones creates fogged eyewear, icy surfaces, and […]
