Hi carine,

 

For cold areas worker would normally be provided with adequate clothing to protect them from the cold. There should be warm staff facilities provided elsewhere.

 

I would be more concerned about rotation for personnel working in frozen storage areas.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony

I have heard of places allowing for 10-15 minutes per hour, depending on the temp and their own protective clothing..

Workers should have protection first and foremost. A snowmobile suit perhaps??

You really should be looking at your local regulations for occupational health and safety on this
