Weather & Safety

Disclaimer: Managing heat risk in the workplace is a shared responsibility. This Heat Index is based on the environmental conditions of temperature and relative humidity. Heat stress risk is not just based on environmental conditions, but the interaction of the environmental conditions with the type of work being performed and the health and fitness status of the individual(s) performing the work. The heat index is simply a guideline to trigger additional controls and discussions under escalating heat stress ratings. Additional controls can be implemented at any time and work should be stopped at any time if it is considered unsafe to proceed, regardless of the Heat Index rating.
