Transitioning to Winter: Layering PPE for Oil and Gas Workers in North Dakota

North Dakota winters bring extreme cold, and layering is essential for staying warm while maintaining mobility in the oil fields. With temperatures sometimes plummeting below -20°F, dressing right can mean the difference between productivity and frostbite.

The Importance of Layering:
When temperatures fluctuate, the best way to regulate body temperature is to wear layers. A proper layering system traps heat, removes moisture, and creates a barrier between workers and the elements.

Layering PPE in Cold Conditions:

Base Layer: The first layer should be moisture-wicking, drawing sweat away from the body to prevent a damp chill.
Middle Layer: The insulating layer traps body heat. Fleece or wool is ideal for keeping the body warm without adding bulk.
Outer Layer: This final layer should be windproof and waterproof, shielding workers from the harshest winter conditions.
