Scout's Toolbox Talks

Cold stress doesn’t just slow you down — it can shut your body down.

Working in low temperatures increases the risk of hypothermia, frostbite, and decreased mental alertness. These toolbox talks cover OSHA cold stress guidelines, proper layering, staying dry, recognizing early warning signs, warm-up breaks, and safe work/rest cycles. Use them to train crews on how to work safely in cold weather and respond quickly if symptoms of cold stress appear.

Support your winter safety briefings with toolbox talks focused on cold exposure, hypothermia prevention, and OSHA-compliant practices for working in freezing conditions.
