OSHA Heat Safety Tool (v. 1.2) Разработано U.S. Department of Labor |
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.

[2012-08-03] chris: Blows This app does nothing more for me then what I can get from my local weather station. Also the temp always says its 10 degrees hotter then what the actual temp, plus I know when its hot without looking at the app, telling me its hot, and i need to drink lots of water, DUH!!! |

[2012-07-30] Steveatl: Good info to have The heat index is good to have, although it is unclear at what location or how close the measurments are taken. The heat injury symptom info is very good and is reason enough to have to app, IMO. |

[2012-07-06] Rock: Good App The app is good - accurate with the correct numbers. As for the sit behind the desk staple drivers whining about taxes: get a real job, vote, voice to your elected officials, run for office, provide usable feedback, or shut up. |
|

|
[2012-02-08] Ryan: Waste of money A heat index app in February. Give me a call when you start working on one for wind chill. Six figures? Ever played bubble ball |
|
[2012-02-06] Ralph: More wasted tax dollars Do they think Americans are too dumb to check the forecast? Any nerd his mommie's basement could've made this, sans the hundreds of thousands of $$$'s |
|
[2011-11-24] George: Doesn't work Slow and keeps freezing. Completely useless even when it does work. Waste of my tax dollars. |
|
[2011-11-23] matthew: %100 waste Any programmer could make this app for $1000 or less. The federal government spent $200000. It doesn't even work well. |
|
[2011-11-22] David: Crap Do we really need an app to tell us 100 degrees is hot? Waste of tax later money. |
|
[2011-09-24] Joe: Useful application. Easy to use. Informative. |
|
[2011-09-07] D: Osha sucks. |

|
[2011-09-01] Jacob: Waste of time and taxes. Can't we spend fedral funds in a better way. |
|
[2011-08-29] fastlemming: Needs a feature Allow manual zip code entry instead of just gps locating to generate values. Or even just allow rough locating. I turn off gps to save battery. |
|
[2011-08-26] troy: Osha heat safety tool I've been using this app for 1 week now in phoenix arizona it does not calculate the heat index correctly |
|
[2011-08-20] AdamZ: More wasted money... So this is where you think we need to be spending tax money at a time with over 10% unemployment across the nation? |
|
[2011-08-18] Robert: To dang hot !!! Awesome app if you work outside it's a must have. |
|
