OSHA Heat Safety Tool

When you're working in the heat, safety comes first. With the OSHA Heat Safety Tool, you have vital safety information available whenever and wherever you need it — right on your mobile phone.The App allows workers and supervisors to calculate the heat index for their worksite, and, based on the heat index, displays a risk level to outdoor workers. Then, with a simple tap, you can get reminders about the protective measures that should be taken at that risk level to protect workers from heat-related illness—reminders about drinking enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, planning for and knowing what to do in an emergency, adjusting work operations, gradually building up the workload for new workers, training on heat illness signs and symptoms, and monitoring each other for signs and symptoms of heat-related illness. Stay informed and safe in the heat, check your risk level.For more information about safety while working in the heat, see OSHA’s heat illness webpage, including new online guidance about using the heat index to protect workers.

I am an HSE professional and this is a very handy app and gives quick guidelines to manage Heat stress effectively. My suggestion is to kindly include “DEGREE CELCIUS” option for temperature along with Farheniet in your next update. This will be helpful for countries following the degree celcius unit for measuring temperature. Cheerz and Safe regards !

Easy to use and find what controls are needed based on risk level.

My boss bans the possession of smartphones at work, so your app is totally useless. If I bring my phone onto work my boss will take possession of it. I work in a factory where the coworkers deliberately let hot humid air into the building, and lately my health is poor. Please email me to obtain secure communications, there are lots of OSHA violations at my work.

The only thing that upsets me more than the fact that this piece of trash doesn't give any information that your phone doesn't already give you automatically, is that Federal Tax Dollars were wasted in the development of this and that Tax Dollars are continuing to be wasted on servers to run it. Shame on you, USDOL. Shame on you, OSHA. Shame on you, DC. I want my money back.

If you work in Construction and OSHA states High Risk, show it to your boss and they'll let you leave early with paid full day. Then hit the Beach
