Now the colder months have most certainly made an appearance, it's time to think about your cold weather gear. Do you have the right gear to keep you warm as you work?
Working in the cold and wet without appropriate cold weather gear could potentially be dangerous. Trying to work when you cannot feel your face could lead to dropped tools or losing balance while working at a height. In both circumstances, this could be avoided by keeping on top of your body temperature while you work.
Our aim is to keep all workers safe here at SafetyLiftinGear, so we have a wide range of cold weather gear for you to browse. You may be thinking 'but I have my cold weather gear from last year, why would I need more?'. Cold weather gear is built for harsh weather, but this does not mean it won't be damaged by it. We advise you to check your gear, then come back and read about how warm you could be in our range.

"BlackRock" Thermal Vest
Hi-Viz Yellow Bomber Jacket
Your torso makes up nearly half of your body, so it is vital that you keep it warm during cold weather. If you do not wear cold weather gear, you may be more susceptible to bladder and chest infections. This could put you out of work - so, eliminate the risk by wearing out thermal cold weather gear!
We provide both thermal vests and bomber jackets in sizes M, L or XL. If you pair our thermal vest with the hi-viz yellow bomber jacket, you will be both warm and visible while you work. Outside work also means darkness during the winter months, so a warm hi-viz jacket is important for your safety.
N-FERNO Hand Warming Packs
Finally, we all know how hard the cold weather can be on our hands. We think every worker should have a Hand Warming Pack in their cold weather gear emergency kit. Hand cramps and chill-blains can occur when your hands are repeatedly placed in cold weather environments. Make sure the cold has no long-term effects on your hands by using one of these little warmers after a task!
