It’s a no brainer!

OSHA’s workplace heat safety App (It’s free)
a.
Thought I’d throw in an App that helps with
Workplace Safety. 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 "click," 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. I didn’t find too many
from the Federal Government, but this is a great first start!
8.
