Practice these tips to stay safe while working outside in cold weather

It's wintertime again — when temperatures take a dive. But don't let your health take a dive, too.

Frigid temperatures can be dangerous without the proper precautions. The colder it gets outside, the more energy your body needs to remain warm.
