A health and safety risk assessment will help you to work out exactly what cold room protective clothing you need.
A freezer jacket is designed to keep workers warm, comfortable, and safe when working in low-temperature conditions.
Thanks to various insulating materials, freezer clothing traps body heat and prevents it from escaping, at the same time as blocking out cold air and preventing it from reaching the wearer’s skin.
In this way, freezer coats and jackets are able to maintain a comfortable internal temperature for workers, as well as minimising the risk of cold-related injuries such as frostbite.
The best materials for working in a freezer usually include durable, water-resistant materials like nylon, combined with insulating materials like Thinsulate or polyfill.
As an example, freezer jackets are often made up of:
Freezer workwear should adhere to the safety standard EN 342.
This lays out the requirements for protective clothing designed for cold environments, like thermal insulation and air permeability.
ISO 15743 also provides guidance on protective clothing that’s meant to maintain your core body temperature in cold environments.
