Koude werkplekken in de RI&E: checklist voor werkgevers

Een risico-inventarisatie voor koude werkplekken hoort in elke RI&E thuis. Koude werkplekken brengen eigen risico's mee — van verminderde fijne motoriek tot onderkoeling — en die maak je met een gestructureerde beoordeling zichtbaar en beheersbaar.

Werkgever voert een risico-inventarisatie uit op een koude werkplek

Waarom een aparte beoordeling nodig is

Kou werkt sluipend: eerst daalt de vingervaardigheid, daarna stijgt het risico op fouten en ongevallen. Het Arbobesluit verplicht werkgevers de risico's van arbeid bij lage temperaturen te beoordelen en maatregelen te treffen. Een gerichte beoordeling maakt de belasting concreet en leidt tot vastgelegde maatregelen. Zie ook het Arboportaal over werken in de koude.

Stap voor stap

Breng de omstandigheden systematisch in kaart, beoordeel het risico en leid maatregelen af volgens de arbeidshygiënische strategie: eerst technisch, dan organisatorisch, dan persoonlijk.

Checklist koude werkplek

Welke temperaturen, luchtsnelheid en luchtvochtigheid komen voor?
Hoelang en hoe vaak zijn medewerkers blootgesteld?
Zijn verblijf- en pauzetijden vastgelegd?
Is er geschikte, droge en warme kleding (waar nodig EN 342)?
Is er een verwarmde pauze- en droogruimte?
Is alleenwerk afgedekt met werkende alarmering?

Na de beoordeling: maatregelen

Uit de beoordeling volgen maatregelen — van het afschermen van tocht en taakroulatie tot geschikte PBM. Warme kleding zoals een verwarmde bodywarmer is daarbij een persoonlijke maatregel die pauzes en instructie aanvult, maar niet vervangt.

Ja. Het Arbobesluit verplicht werkgevers om ook de risico's van kou te beoordelen en maatregelen vast te leggen.

Wat hoort er in de beoordeling van een koude werkplek?

Temperatuur, luchtsnelheid en vochtigheid, blootstellingsduur, verblijf- en pauzetijden, kleding en de afdekking van alleenwerk.

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.
