Brave the Cold Confidently with Winter Workwear

September Blog Header

Living on the East Coast, especially in states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York, means dealing with chilly winters - especially if you work outdoors! As temperatures drop, making sure your team is outfitted with the right winter workwear becomes a top priority. 

 

WW Uniform Service has been serving Connecticut for 100 years, so we know firsthand what it takes to get through a tough winter. We understand the challenges and are here to keep your crew warm, safe, and ready to work. 

Why Winter Workwear Matters

Let’s face it, winter can be a tough season for anyone working outside. Without the right clothing, your team could face more than just the chill. Cold weather can lead to serious health issues like frostbite and hypothermia, not to mention the usual colds and flu that can spread through a workplace like wildfire. When your team is out sick, it doesn’t just hurt them - it hurts your business too. 

 

It’s not just about avoiding the sniffles, when your team is cold and uncomfortable it’s hard for them to stay focused and motivated. Providing them with the right winter workwear shows you care about their well-being and keeps morale high, even when the temperatures are low. 

Also, as the colder months roll in and daylight hours shrink, it’s important to outfit your crew with high-visibility workwear. In low-light conditions, such as early mornings or late afternoons when the sun is just coming up or already setting, visibility becomes crucial for your team’s safety.

Branded Outerwear 

Winter workwear doesn’t just have to be functional - it can also be a fantastic way to boost your brand. Outfitting your team in branded outerwear not only keeps them warm but also ensures your company’s name stays visible, even when they’re bundled up against the cold. It’s like a walking billboard, but much cozier. 

 

Plus, when your team is decked out in quality, branded winter gear, it sends a strong message to both your employees and clients: you care about your team’s safety and comfort. That kind of care goes a long way in building loyalty and trust.

How to Stay Warm While Working Outside During Cold Months

Keeping warm in the winter is about more than just throwing on a jacket. Here are some tips to help your team stay toasty while working out in the cold:

  1. Layer Up: Wearing layers of loose, dry clothing helps trap warmth and allows your team to adjust as needed throughout the day.
  2. Cover Up: Don’t forget about the extremities! Hands, feet, faces, and heads lose heat quickly, so insulated gloves, thermal socks, and warm hats are a must. 
  3. Keep Moving: Encourage your team to keep moving to generate heat. It’s one of the best ways to stay warm!
  4. Take Warm-Up Breaks: Make sure there are heated areas where your team can take breaks and warm up. It’s a great way to recharge and avoid prolonged exposure to the cold.
  5. Time It Right: If possible, schedule outdoor work during the warmest part of the day to minimize cold exposure. 
  6. Know the Signs: Educate your team on the signs of cold-related illnesses like frostbite and hypothermia, and make sure they know what to do if symptoms appear. 
  7. Stay Fueled: Cold weather can zap energy, so encourage your team to heat high-calorie foods and drink warm beverages to stay energized.
