Drinks logistics and brewery storage often involve chilled areas, open loading bays and draughty doors. Workers switch between cold and warmer zones, which can make temperature management difficult.
Where the cold comes from
Chilled storage, open dock doors and variable physical effort can cool the body quickly, especially the hands and core.
Controls for Irish workplaces
Include cold exposure in the risk assessment and safety statement. Reduce draughts where possible, provide suitable clothing, plan warm-up breaks and rotate tasks between cold and warmer areas.
Heated workwear
A heated bodywarmer can provide targeted core warmth during order picking, loading and waiting near docks. It should complement, not replace, warm breaks and required PPE.
