AB  - Cold  injuries  are  classified  as  systemic  or  localized  and  as  freezing  (eg,  frostbite)  or  nonfreezing  (eg,  immersion  foot).  Factors  influencing  the  risk  for  these  injuries  include  the  atmospheric  or  water  temperature,  humidity,  wind  velocity,  duration  of  exposure,  type  of  protective  equipment  or  clothing,  type  of  work  being  performed  and  associated  energy  expenditure,  and  age  and  health  status  of  the  worker.  Wet  conditions,  especially  immersion,  substantially  increase  the  risk  of  hypothermia.
