OSHA’s got a free heat safety app for iPhone and Android phones/devices, and we wanted to make sure you knew about it.
The app calculates the heat index for your site, displays a risk level for your workers, and even gives you precautions to follow to keep workers safe.
We’ve got the link for you to click so you can download the app below. It’s been hot this year, and this isn’t a bad tool to have in the safety and health toolbox.
