As winter approaches in North Dakota, oil and gas workers must be fully equipped with the right PPE to tackle freezing temperatures, ice, and snow. Failing to prepare can expose workers to serious health risks like frostbite, hypothermia, and cold stress.

Winter PPE Essentials for North Dakota’s Oil Fields:

Insulated Outerwear: Choose a jacket that’s windproof, waterproof, and insulated. A high collar, adjustable hood, and drawstrings help seal in warmth.
Thermal Gloves and Boots: Frostbite often affects extremities first. Ensure workers have insulated gloves and thermal, waterproof boots to protect against sub-zero temperatures.
Face Masks and Headgear: A significant amount of heat is lost through the head and face. A fleece balaclava or thermal face mask will help retain body heat and protect the skin from frostbite.
Moisture-Wicking Layers: Proper underlayers, including moisture-wicking thermal shirts and leggings, keep sweat away from the body, preventing cold-induced chills.
