Hepworths Freezer Jackets – the Hi Vis Option for Working in the Cold
Working regularly in freezers or cold storage can be very dangerous if the risks are not properly managed. The short- and long-term effects of exposure to freezing temperatures include frostbite and arthritis.
Initially, when exposed to freezing temperatures, the blood vessels in the extremities constrict to prevent blood flow escaping the core organs – protecting them is your body’s main aim when exposed to prolonged cold. In a working environment, this translates to poor fine motor control in the hands.
If the exposure is prolonged, and your internal body temperature drops below 35 degrees, you are at risk of hypothermia.
To combat these risks, make sure that you take regular ‘warm up’ breaks, eat well and keep hydrated, and choose appropriate footwear, gloves, hats and clothing.
Why Choose Hepworths Freezer Jacket?
The Hepworths Freezer Jacket is available in navy or green and is a high visibility option for prolonged freezer wear.
The long line shape means that when worn with freezer trousers, there are no drafty gaps, and the jacket is heavyweight and padded for extra warmth.
Of course, as with any layer in your freezer wear outfit, the material is breathable – despite the cold of your environment, if you are working hard, lifting heavy items or moving around a lot you will sweat, so keeping moisture away from your skin is really important.
For maximum durability and extended fabric life, the outer shell of the Hepworths Freezer Jacket is made from rip-stop material and has a zip-off boa-lined hood. It is also waterproof, of course.
Hepworths are an Australian family-owned business that has been operating nationwide for over 50 years. With a well-stocked warehouse in Ingleburn, Sydney, they have a well-earned reputation for prompt, efficient service, and that is why we love to work with them.
