With record setting low temperatures across the nation it’s a good time for us to review the potential hazards associated with extremely cold working conditions. The two major concerns are hypothermia and frost bite. Hypothermia results from the loss of body temperature. Symptoms include shivering, apathy, loss of consciousness, decreasing pulse rate, and decreasing breathing rate. Frostbite occurs in freezing conditions. The nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers and toes are the body parts most likely to be affected. Remind your workers to protect themselves by:

• Dressing in layers to block the escape of body heat;
• Choosing clothing that provides good insulation to the head, armpits, and groin area where most body heat escapes;
• Keeping their nose, ears, cheeks, and chin covered;
• Wearing moisture wicking wool socks, and insulated work boots;
• Staying dry;
• Keeping out of the wind;
• Eating nutritious high protein foods; and
• Staying well hydrated.

Enforcement of OSHA’s electronic reporting requirements in its recently revised recordkeeping rule starts in most states on December 15, 2017. However, some of the OSHA state-plan-states have not yet adopted the requirement to submit recordable workplace injury/illness data electronically. The following OSHA-approved State Plans have not adopted the requirement to submit injury and illness reports electronically: CA, MD, MN, SC, UT, WA and WY. Establishments in these states are not currently required to submit their summary data through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA). Contact information for each of the State Plans can be found at https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/osp/states.html.

For states that are affected by the revised rule, enforcement dates are as follows.
