Current courses
This autumn we intend to arrange three training sessions with the aim to increase skills and winter capability for both humans and machines. The goal is to increase safety, reduce damage, downtime and costs, see PDF (in Swedish). More information will be added here continuously. The courses will be organized when at least 10 participants reported interest in undergoing the course. Sign up by clicking here.
You can also order business packages, which means that we will come to your company with a specially adapted training.

- Cold surfaces
- Vibration
- Geographic location
Effects on humans

- Convection
- Heat conduction
- Radiation
- Evaporation
- Breathing cold air
- Factors affecting and changing the cooling sensitivity
- Individual differences
- Thermal sensitivity / dehydration / chilblains
- Custom cooling
- Alcohol / smoking
Risks associated with working in cold
- Vibrating tools
- Cold surfaces
- Declining mental ability to function
- Decreasing finger dexterity / controllability
- Slipping
- Mental strength
Effects on health and work
- Reduced functional capacity
- Reduced blood circulation and burdening the heart
