Buiten werken in de winter: bouw & grondwerk

Buiten werken in de winter hoort er in de bouw en het grondwerk gewoon bij: kou, wind en vocht zijn onderdeel van de dag. Zonder goede bescherming daalt niet alleen het comfort, maar ook de veiligheid en de productiviteit.

Bouwvakker werkt buiten in de winter in warme werkkleding

Wind en vocht versterken de kou

Wind verlaagt de gevoelstemperatuur flink (windchill) en vocht onttrekt extra warmte aan het lichaam. Koude, stijve vingers verliezen grip en fijne motoriek — een direct risico bij het werken met gereedschap en machines.

Wat zegt de wet?

Voor werken in de buitenlucht is er geen vaste minimumtemperatuur. Bepalend is de RI&E: de werkgever beoordeelt de risico's van kou en weer en treft passende maatregelen — van warme, weerbestendige kleding tot opwarmmogelijkheden en een verwarmde schaftruimte. Meer hierover lees je bij het Arboportaal over werken in de koude.

Het belangrijkste in het kort

Kleed volgens het laagjesprincipe: warme, wind- en waterdichte lagen.
Zorg voor een verwarmde schaftruimte en plan opwarmmomenten in.
Bescherm handen en hoofd; wissel natte kleding direct.
Wissel fysiek werk af met pauzes op een beschutte, warme plek.

Warmte als kernlaag

Een verwarmde bodywarmer warmt de romp gericht en houdt de kern warm wanneer de beweging wisselt — bijvoorbeeld bij wachten, meten of fijn werk. Gedragen onder de weerbestendige jas ondersteunt hij de doorbloeding en dus warme, soepele handen.

So the heater can be turned off

So I thought heated vests were much more expensive, but thankfully, thanks to you, that's not the case. It's very comfortable and heats up quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who spends all day outside in the cold. I should have bought it thirty years ago.

I had problems with the delivery

I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now. It warms up quickly, and the extra patches are perfect! This will get me through the winter! I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now....

Nice warm body warmer

The bodywarmer looks great and is nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too tight, but I sent an email and it's being exchanged for a larger size. Excellent service. So nice and warm all winter long.

More effective than turning the heating up a degree

I bought the Høgge body warmer for both me and my husband. It's been the best purchase for keeping us nice and warm. Whether it's walking, gardening, or just because you're feeling cold, this fantastic body warmer solves all of that. Highly recommended and more effective than turning up the heat.

An Ode to Gløde!

After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for indoor riding, and it's fantastic too! The elastic sides ensure a perfect fit and allow for plenty of freedom of movement. The control panels are on the outside, making it very easy to adjust the temperature on the go. When riding warm and relaxed, it's very pleasant to have the heater on. After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for...

Very happy with the bodywarmer

I'm very happy with the body warmer; it's easy and chic to wear over my sweater, but it also works under a jacket. I'm very happy with it.
