Abstract
Although Croatian legislation has passed a large number of policies regarding work safety, some areas of work are still neglected and loosely regulated. This is the case with working in cold storage facilities.
The duration of working inside the cold storage chamber, the number of exits and entries during one shift, the mandatory resting period in a heated ante-chamber and the provision of necessary personal protective equipment are just some of the measures the employer needs to take in order to prevent adverse health effects in workers.
The objective of this study is to recommend a work process in cold storage facilities that would reduce the risk of adverse health consequences from working at low temperatures to a minimum.
