A person is at the greatest risk of developing hypothermia when exposed to cold, wet, and windy conditions, particularly if they are not dressed appropriately for the weather. Prolonged exposure to cold environments, such as being outdoors during winter, can exacerbate the risk, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly, young children, and individuals with certain medical conditions. Additionally, factors such as exhaustion, dehydration, and alcohol consumption can further increase susceptibility to hypothermia.

The two types of risk factors for developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are ergonomic risk factors and individual risk factors. Ergonomic risk factors include aspects of the work environment, such as repetitive motions, awkward postures, and heavy lifting. Individual risk factors pertain to personal characteristics, such as age, previous injuries, and physical fitness, which may influence a person's susceptibility to WMSDs. Both types of factors interact to increase the likelihood of developing these disorders.
