As we start gearing up for warmer weather, it's important to shift gears and begin considering the risk of heat stress on employees as well. The AIHA has made an app available to help employers keep tabs of the risk of heat stress. The app is available for both iOS and Android, can monitor multiple locations for heat stress risk, and can send alerts if heat stress is elevated in any monitored location.
We also downloaded this app to see how it works, and it is very intuitive. It takes you through a set of questions upon start up, including the work hours to be monitored, which location(s), and whether you'd classify the work being done as "light, moderate, heavy, or very heavy" with examples of work for each category supplied.
If you would like to start using the app as a tool in your heat stress risk reduction bucket, you can search for the app called "AIHA Heat Stress" in your app store.
