Cold  Teens may be exposed to cold temperatures while carrying groceries to cars or if working outdoors. Some tips to avoid cold illnesses include: Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Wear warm, layered clothing in cold weather, including hat and gloves. In cold weather, pay special attention to protecting feet, hands, face, and head. Up to 40 % of body heat can be lost when the head is exposed. Take frequent, short breaks indoors to warm up. Learn to recognize and seek medical help for yourself or co-workers that have symptoms of cold related stresses. Teen Worker Safety in Restaurants. OSHA eTool.
