ALT Cold weather safety. Avoiding frostbite: Wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. Wear mittens over gloves in extreme weather. Always wear a hat that covers your ears and cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs. Dress children warmly and set reasonable limits on outdoor play.

ALT Cold weather safety. Winter fun safety tips: Dress children in warm, bright colors and set time limits on outdoor play. Don't ski, ice skate, snowboard, or sled alone and make sure children (and adults) wear helmets. If outside for long periods of time, take breaks, and if you do get wet, change clothes immediately to avoid hypothermia.

ALT Cold weather safety. Heating safety tips: Use home heating systems and space heating appliances responsibly. Never try to heat your home using the kitchen stove or other products not designed as a heater as these can cause a fire or produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Using faulty or improper heating sources is the second leading cause of home fires in Massachusetts. Have your heating system cleaned and checked annually.
