Chill Thrills
This term describes the cooling power applied by physical and climatic factors on our body’s tissues.
What is cold stress?
This is the freezing of the fluid within the skin causing inflammation and slight pain.
What is frostbite?
These are the early symptoms of hypothermia.
What are fatigue, shivering, and social withdrawal?
This schedule is necessary to follow when working in extremely cold conditions to prevent cold stress.
What is the work/warm-up schedule?
This is unwanted sound.
What is noise?
This is the healthy core temperature our body tries to maintain.
What is 37˚C?
These body parts are commonly affected by frostnip.
What are the extremities including the face, ears, fingers, and toes?
These are the early symptoms of trench foot.
What are tingling, burning, or itching sensation and numbness?
This is the temperature at which employees working continuously in the cold should seek shelter at regular intervals.
What is -7°C?
This is the threshold limit value (TLV) for noise exposure in an 8-hour shift.
What is 85 dBA?
These are the two types of cooling that can affect our body.
What are whole-body cooling and local cooling?
This is what you should avoid doing when re-warming frostbitten skin.
What is rubbing the affected area?
This happens to the skin during severe hypothermia.
What is the skin becomes extremely cold and the person may lose consciousness?
This chart is used to determine the combined cooling effect of wind and low air temperatures on exposed skin.
What is the wind chill chart?
These are the three parts of the ear involved in hearing.
What are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear?
These are the steps you should take if you notice early symptoms of frostbite.
What are move to a warm area, remove wet clothing, stay dry, and protect exposed skin from further exposure?
These are the severe symptoms of frostbite.
What are area becomes hard all the way through, painful (burning or stinging), blisters, and darkening of the skin?
This is how much faster wet feet lose heat compared to dry feet.
What is 25 times faster?
The Equivalent Chill Temperature is the combined effect of these two things on exposed skin.
What are wind and low air temperatures?
This is the most effective method of controlling noise exposure.
What are engineering controls?
These are the symptoms of moderate hypothermia.
What are shivering stops, reduced mental alertness, slurred speech, and shallow breathing?
This is the most minor form of freezing injury.
What is frostnip?
This is what you should do if a hypothermia victim stops breathing.
What is perform CPR if trained?
The Cold Weather Program is similar to Stelco’s other weather related program, called this.
What is Heat Stress Prevention Program.
This is the difference between TTS and PTS in noise-induced hearing loss.
What is TTS (Temporary Threshold Shift) is reversible, while PTS (Permanent Threshold Shift) is permanent?
