Cold Weather Accessories

Dress properly for the cold and use safe work practices. The type of fabric worn also makes a difference. Cotton loses its insulation value when it becomes wet. Wool, silk and most synthetics, on the other hand, retain their insulation even when wet. OSHA recommends wearing a hat or hood to help keep your whole body warmer. Safety Smart Gear has cold weather accessories from dependable names such as OccuNomix, PIP, Portwest, Tough Duck and other popular safety brands.
