Cold Stress
Cold stress can be an occupational hazard, especially for those working outside. Cold stress starts when the body can no longer maintain its core temperature and begins shivering. Extended shivering results in fatigue, continued loss of body heat, and loss of coordination.
Cleaners and Disinfectants
Cleaners and disinfectants play an important role in preventing infectious diseases such as the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis, and coronavirus.
