Equipment handling may be difficult

Equipment handling may be difficult while wearing cold weather clothing because maneuverability and dexterity will be reduced as the thickness of clothing increases. Mittens and gloves make it more difficult to grasp some objects, such as wrenches and screwdrivers. It will be nearly impossible, for example to fine-tune electronic equipment with small potentiometer knobs while wearing large gloves. The following safety precautions should be observed while wearing cold weather clothing.
