Winter is here to stay. Snow will soon fill the streets, and temperatures will drop to crazy numbers. Since the winter climate is so intense, you must remain as bundled up as possible. Some professions force their workers outside, no matter the weather. These are three of the toughest jobs to have in the wintertime.
Sanitation Workers
Being a sanitation worker is challenging all year. You must lift heavy objects and drive a huge truck around many small alleys. Unfortunately, the job becomes harder in the winter. Sanitation workers have to constantly get in and out of their trucks. This means they’re never in the trucks long enough to get warm. What’s more, they must spend a lot of time outside collecting trash. They should wear strong protective gear to cover their skin and keep them safe from frostbite.
Oilfield Workers
Working in an oilfield is never an easy job. These workers must stay laser focused while drilling, so they don’t make any mistakes. Even though it’s always difficult, oilfield workers have it especially hard in the winter. These people are usually outside for the entirety of their shift. They don’t get to go inside and complete their tasks in the warmth. As a result, oilfield workers must follow tips for staying safe in inclement weather. The more they bundle up, the better.
Delivery Person
Perhaps the most grueling job to have this season is that of a delivery person. The United States Postal Service’s motto is, “Delivering mail in rain or shine.” This means delivery people never get a break. They must deliver mail in snowstorms. What’s worse is that they can rarely get in their trucks. Delivery people typically deliver to every house in a neighborhood, so it’d be silly to drive from house to house. Since they have to be outside so often, these workers must wear warm clothing for their shifts.
These are three of the toughest jobs to have in the wintertime. All of these workers must do everything they can to stay warm while they’re outside. With the right protective equipment, these employees can make it through their shifts safely.
