When working in extremely cold conditions, wearing eye and face protection is just as important as wearing appropriate clothing. Windchill temperature from -28o C can freeze exposed skin in 30 minutes or less, and when this temperature continues to drop, exposed skin can freeze in as fast as 5 minutes. When using eye protection, select the protective eye wear that is appropriate for the work you are doing, and for protection against ultraviolet light from the sun, glare from the snow, blowing snow or ice crystals, and high winds. Make sure to separate the eye protection from your nose and mouth to prevent exhaled moisture from fogging and frosting eye shields or glasses. Always protect yourself when working outdoors in winter➡ https://bit.ly/48toEAf #winter #safetymatters #pei
