Cold Weather First Aid and CPR Tips
❄️ CPR & First Aid Tips for Cold Weather Cold weather increases the risk of emergencies. Stay prepared with these safety tips: • Hypothermia: Look for shivering, confusion, slurred speech. Move the person to warmth, remove wet clothing, and warm gradually. • Frostbite: Numbness, pale or hard skin. Warm slowly with body heat or warm (not hot) water. Never rub. • Cold-related cardiac events: Call 911 immediately. Start CPR and use an AED if available. • Slips & falls: Treat sprains or fractures with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.). • Outdoor work: Take warm breaks, hydrate, and wear layers. 💡 Business tip: Ensure staff know where AEDs are located and are CPR-trained—cold stress can increase cardiac risk. 👉 Drop a ❄️ if your team is trained, or comment “TRAINING” if you need CPR or First Aid certification.
