Heat Safety Tool

Description

Outdoor workers and their managers can access vital heat-safety information whenever and wherever they need it—right on their mobile phones. This mobile app can help workers and supervisors plan outdoor work activities based on how hot it feels throughout the day. The app shows real-time heat index and hourly forecasts, specific to your location.

The app also displays a risk level associated with the temperature. Users can receive reminders about protective measures to protect them from heat-related illness in their current climate conditions—reminders include drinking enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, and planning for and knowing what to do in an emergency.

The app is available in English and Spanish for Android and iPhone devices.
