CleanAir WorkDesk – Outdoor Crew Safety Brief
A shift-start briefing tool for construction, landscaping, and delivery managers that decides whether to send crews outside based on AQHI, temperature, and the specific task.
Operations managers at small construction, landscaping, and last-mile delivery firms
- Per-site daily go/no-go brief with the heaviest-work tasks flagged first
- N95 mask recommendation when AQHI crosses set thresholds
- Automated text to crews the night before if next day's air is bad
- Heat-plus-smoke combined risk score for outdoor workers
Ontario's wildfire smoke is colliding with peak construction season, and small operators are getting hit with worker-compensation questions they have no policy for.
Ontario Bill 36 (Heat Stress Act, 2025) creates a real compliance driver and WSPS has issued formal wildfire-smoke Q&A for workplaces; Google Trends shows 1000+ 'air quality windsor' searches in CA, confirming acute localized demand.Bill 36, Heat Stress Act, 2025 - Legislative Assembly of Ontario ↗Wildfire Smoke in Canada | MILTSD shares Q&A for workplaces - WSPS ↗
Searches for an AQHI/heat shift-start decision tool for outdoor crews returned zero dedicated products; incumbent SafetyCulture/SiteDocs/BIS Safety/SafetyTek are broad safety platforms with no specialized wildfire-smoke + heat go/no-go briefing module.Top 7 Construction Safety Software of 2026 | SafetyCulture ↗Construction safety software Canada: top platforms reviewed ↗
SafetyCulture's 1M+ users validates category spend on construction safety SaaS, and Bill 36 will pressure compliance purchases, but target buyers are small landscapers/last-mile operators who are price-sensitive and the use case is seasonal (roughly May–Sept in Ontario), capping willingness to pay.Top 7 Construction Safety Software of 2026 | SafetyCulture ↗
Bill 36 mandates a Worker Heat Protection Standard with employer training obligations (durable regulation), and worsening Canadian wildfire seasons structurally expand AQHI-driven work-stoppage events year over year.Bill 36, Heat Stress Act, 2025 - Legislative Assembly of Ontario ↗Ontario Construction Heat Stress Policy Rules | Blue Crane ↗
AQHI/weather data is freely available from ECCC and standard APIs, but per-task thresholds, shift-start briefings, push delivery, and an auditable compliance log add meaningful build complexity; no obvious blocker though.CCOHS: Outdoor Air Quality ↗
