Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Cold workplaces - Risk assessment and management (ISO 15743:2008)
ISO 15743:2008 presents a strategy and practical tools for assessing and managing cold risk in the workplace, and includes: models and methods for cold risk assessment and management; a checklist for identifying cold-related problems at work; a model, method and questionnaire intended for use by occupational health care professionals in identifying those individuals with symptoms that increase their cold sensitivity and, with the aid of such identification, offering optimal guidance and instructions for individual cold protection; guidelines on how to apply thermal standards and other validated scientific methods when assessing cold‑related risks; a practical example from cold work.
It is applicable to both indoor and outdoor work situations — indoor work includes work done inside vehicles, outdoor work both inland and offshore work — but is not applicable to diving situations or other types of work performed underwater.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15743 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5,

Introduction
This International Standard is one of a series of thermal standards (see Clause 2 and the Bibliography)
intended to be used in the assessment and management of work in the cold, i.e. in conditions that cause
uncomfortable sensations of cool or cold. In light physical work, these conditions can occur at 10 °C or below.
A number of industries, types of commerce and occupations involve substantial cold exposure, outdoors or
indoors, where individual workers can also be exposed to windy and/or wet conditions. Working in cold
environments can involve several adverse effects on human performance and health: thermal discomfort,
increased strain, decreased performance and cold-related diseases and injuries. Cold can also interfere with
several other factors in the workplace, modifying or aggravating the risk of common hazards and increasing
the risk of cold-associated injuries.
Due to the negative impact of cold on human health and performance, as well as on work productivity, quality
and safety, a comprehensive strategy of risk assessment and management practices and methods is needed
for work in cold environments.
Even though some of the standards referred to above describe specific methods (instruments and indices) to
be used to assess the required insulation of clothing for different cold exposures (see ISO 11079), or
physiological and psychological consequences related to different thermal exposures, an instruction of
practical application for cold working environments is lacking.
This International Standard was created to specify methods and practices for assessing and managing
occupational health and performance risks in cold work. The choice of when these are to be used is at the
discretion of those responsible for occupational health and/or safety.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15743:2008(E)
Ergonomics of the thermal environment — Cold workplaces —
Risk assessment and management
1 Scope
This International Standard presents a strategy and practical tools for assessing and managing cold risk in the
workplace, and includes
⎯ models and methods for cold risk assessment and management,
⎯ a checklist for identifying cold-related problems at work,
⎯ a model, method and questionnaire intended for use by occupational health care professionals in
identifying those individuals with symptoms that increase their cold sensitivity and, with the aid of such
identification, offering optimal guidance and instructions for individual cold protection,
⎯ guidelines on how to apply thermal standards and other validated scientific methods when assessing
cold-related risks, and
⎯ a practical example from cold work.
This International Standard supports good occupational health and safety (OHS). It is applicable to both
indoor and outdoor work situations — indoor work includes work done inside vehicles, outdoor work both
inland and offshore work — but is not applicable to diving situations or other types of work performed
underwater.
